 I went to see this concert convinced that Interpol were the poor imitation of Joy Division; I left certain they are their own imitation.

 Lesson learned: never dare at a price higher than five euros.

 "It’s a punch in the stomach, absolute, definitive, essential like the director’s choice of black and white."

 "In the end, in the fight among the poor, everyone ends up defeated… the sacrificial lamb is the innocence lost by a society on the brink of the abyss."

The review praises Mathieu Kassovitz's L'Odio as a powerful and essential black-and-white film exploring social tension in Parisian suburbs. It highlights the emotionally charged characters, the apolitical yet urgent social themes, and the cyclical nature of violence and revenge. Though the pacing ebbs at times, the film's impact remains visceral and thought-provoking, emphasizing lost innocence and societal breakdown. Watch L'Odio to experience a gripping portrayal of social unrest and lost innocence in modern urban life.
