Did you see some references to Kourtrajmé in this movie? Because this movie is filled with that. 1st things 1st: What is Kourtrajmé. In french slang it means "short film". Kourtrajmé is a collective of street performers whose main concern are anti racism, playing with symbols, and having fun. Incorrect fun, that is: they play on fear of unknown and violence. Their main medium is unsurprisingly short film and music clips. From now on Kourtrajmé will be written as K for short. I ll list below all the references to K I found in this movie.
Kim Chapiron, director, is from K. Thai is played By Nico Le Phat. He is a director from K. Mainly for clips. Barth (Olivier Barthelemy) can be seen on many clips from Romain Gavras, also from K. Ladj (Ladj Ly) is a director from K. Responsible for a famous (in France) fake documentary about hash pushers: Gofast connexion.
The initial sentence, "God, don't pity them for they know what they do" is a recurring sentence from K. They usually aim it at politician who play hate-mongers and leave suburbs grow with poverty and violence. In the opening scene, the DJ (played by Mouloud, a friend of K, as all(?) the actors) wears a K Tshirt. On his mix table is a picture of a guy missing a tooth; he is Mohamed Mazouz, AKA HiTekk from La Caution, affiliated to K.
At some point, Mouloud yells "Batards de barbares". It is the name of the clip watched by Barth, Eve and Thai. Check out for the soul rewrite by Mai Lan "Je t immole gentiment" (I immolate you kindly) with the crudest/grossest lyrics ever("I dig your grandma s grave and ra*e her and if u r not happy with it I ra*e your dad too")
At some point their car is blocked by a pack of goats. Then Barth takes the billy-goats goatee and starts singing "par la barbichette". It is a french kiddie song/game in which both players hold the other s chin. The first to laugh gets a slap. "La barbichette" also is another short from Kim Chapiron in which Barthelemy and Cassel use this game to determine who is gonna help mum.
In fact, the all film plays with our fears of the unknown: either the gangster style of the heroes, or the creepiness/racism of countryside people. Hence, this flick explores all the clichés of these groups.
