It’s a film about police brutality in the largest sense, it’s about the whole of society and not just about the hood. — Mathieu Kassovitz
Hood films now are made by studios and have nothing to do with the reality they supposedly represent. — Mathieu Kassovitz
I’m not a politician; I’m lucky to be a filmmaker and to be able to express myself through the films I make. — Mathieu Kassovitz
The film’s not against the police – although I think that if someone wants to be a cop there’s got to be a problem. — Mathieu Kassovitz
Like anywhere, we had to make people understand that we were there with good intentions — Mathieu Kassovitz
