20 + 21 pages, coming with 4 silver-gelatin prints 29,7 x 21 cm Language: French, English Paperback Publisher: Studio Canal+ Edition 1995
A rare and complete ensemble of original press material produced for the launch of La Haine at the 1995 Cannes Film Festival — a moment that marked the emergence of Mathieu Kassovitz as one of the most uncompromising voices of his generation.
Comprising four silver-gelatin promotional prints (A4), the official 20-page French press brochure, and the scarce English-language press dossier (21 pp., stapled, A4), preserved in its original Studio Canal+ folder. The latter was prepared in a very limited run for Cannes delegates, critics, and distributors, making surviving examples particularly elusive.
Press kits of La Haine in this state of completeness are seldom encountered. Beyond their ephemeral nature, they embody the film’s historical significance: a raw, incendiary portrait of suburban France whose resonance extended far beyond national borders. For the discerning collector, this is not merely promotional material but a primary document of European cinema at a turning point.
