Key quotes list from La Haine by theme and character PLUS summary/analysis booklet.

I was not able to find resources like this when I was studying for my French A Level, so I hope these are useful! Please leave a review if you find this helpful.

La Haine Summary Document
This comprehensive document presents all the key characters and themes in Kassovitz’ La Haine, target for A Level French studies and revision across exam boards, but also useful for anyone else studying the film.

This document was the sole hub of my La Haine studies for A Level, for which I achieved an A*.

I’ve used a tried-and-tested template on approaching film analysis in this way (applicable for other films too):

1. Evènements importants
2. Key quotes
3. Adjectifs et phrases utiles pour utiliser (in the essay) (e.g essay plan)

I’ve produced this for all key characters and themes, and there is an interactive contents page/list at the beginning of the document that allows you to navigate this freely, and add or remove your own notes.

I’ve also left in some corrections from practice essays I had completed in preparation, as this may be useful for anyone looking for general advice e.g about exam technique and grammar. Sometimes I read one single grammar fact and it just sticks with me for some reason, so maybe one of my many errors as part of the learning process will save you from making it!!

Key sections of this document:

• Misc. vocabulary / grammar / synonyms
• Essay corrections (questions, key points from examiners reports + my own corrections add to this with your own essay practice and review)
• Character profiles (events, quotes, vocab, essay plan)
• Theme profiles
• Interviews (wider reading) (notes and phrases from Kassovitz and other analysis)
• Past paper questions from AQA and Edexcel

Key Quotes List
This document provides a condensed list of key quotes from the film, sorted by theme and character. I have put in bold quotes that I found most important to learn, particularly ones that have wider application across multiple themes and essays (usually the ones about conflict).

When revising, I’d suggest to take the key themes and characters listed in these two documents, and create mind maps out from them, with evidence and analysis. I’d also suggest creating your own possible essay questions (maybe after looking at previous ones and analysing trends…) and creating rough plans for them too. Bon courage !
