In the film 'La Haine (1995)', three young men from the French suburbs navigate through a day in their lives after a violent riot. Vinz, Saïd, and Hubert, each from different ethnic backgrounds, experience the tense atmosphere of the racially diverse 'ghetto'. The oppressive police force exacerbates the tensions. When a police officer loses his handgun during the riots, Vinz finds it and vows to kill a cop if his friend Abdel dies in the hospital. The film explores themes of racism, police brutality, and social unrest within a 24-hour time span.
Since 1967, Jacques Chirac has appeared everyday on television : millions of hours of automatic gestures, jerky speeches and feverish cavalcades.

The main comic effect comes from the contradictions between the various speeches of the French President. The title comes from the title of the French-language version of Being John Malkovich.
