Notes relating to music

-“The music on La Haine is basically the music that you can hear within the scenes… within ‘real life’

-“A good movie shouldn’t have music”

“If you are a good enough director, you should make people cry without the use of music.”

-“[Kassovitz wanted to] use a lot of surround sounds and make it as wide as we can by having sounds we don’t see and we don’t know where they come from.”

-“Everything was written, there was no improv. We improved everything by living the movie way before we started shooting.”

-“we cant be listened to so we are going to burn and loot”
