Cinema: July 2006 Archives

Just over 10 years ago Mathieu Kassovitz's dark film, La Haine, was first released. The ultimate edition DVD is a really cool release, as it is a numbered 3 disc limited edition set which comes in a very tasty metal tin. Not only do you get the film, but you also get the soundtrack and a new documentary - 10 years of La Haine. The special features are listed as follows:

• Mathieu Kassovitz Audio Commentary
• Scenes In Colour
• Behind The Scenes Footage
• 10 Years Of La Haine Documentary
• La Haine Original Soundtrack On CD
• The 2005 Paris Riots
• After The Riot An Essay On La Haine By Keith Reader
• Trailers

When I was following the news of the 2005 riots in Paris I couldn't help but think of La Haine and now this DVD includes coverage of it all .... The Amazon list price shouldn't put you off, as you'll find market place vendors such as Caiman selling it for lower Edit: Image of the tin added Edit: Whoever decided that forcing subtitles on viewers should be shot. If I want to read the subtitles I'll choose to do so. Please don't force them on me!

Channel 4's dedicated film channel, Film 4, will be free to Sky Digital users from July 23rd
