Amazing camerawork
I've been a massive fan of Kassovitz ever since watching LA HAINE at university.
His camerawork in this film was outstanding.
A list of the shots I liked:
1) The opening credits, swinging around the corpse
2) Pierre (Reno) arriving in the car in a great swooping helicopter shot
3) The Vertigo style helicopter entry into the morgue at the start
4) Max (Cassel) intro, walking straight into camera with the awesome hiphop soundtrack blazing (loved his combats and trainers too!)
5) Max walking up to Sertys apartment, the long crane around. Brilliant
6) The final baffling shot where the camera seems to be craning but then the helicopter flies underneath and then a zoom out to show they are on a mountain top. Still don't get this shot.
Amazing work
