Did you know?
Police burr and reciprocal hatred
Hatred was inspired by a drama two years before the shooting, in April 1993, during a police custody in a police station in the 18th arrondissement of Paris. The young Makomé M'Bowolé, 17 years old, had left life there. “”I wondered how the cop was able to get to such a hatred, to shoot him in the head when he couldn't do anything, it's obvious“Explains Mathieu Kassovitz, before continuing:”The policeman certainly did not want to shoot, but he scared him, he put the gun, he armed the dog, and [je me suis demandé] How the same man managed to put it in such a hatred situation.“”
Before parity
Hatred leaves little room for female characters. As the director explained on the spot, in the making-of of the film: “There are no girls in the film, no. We are not going to go to a love story. If you stroll through a city, there are girls on one side and guys on the other, they do not hang out together. You can't hang around with a city girl because she necessarily has a brother. And if she has a brother, you're in shit, so it's not possible.“”
Shooting at the city
A good part of the film was shot in Chanteloup-les-Vignes, in the Paris suburbs. The director and his main actors chose to move there for 2 months before filming in order to make people's known and soak up the places.
