The suburb of Chanteloup-les-Vignes, in the Western banlieue of Paris, and in particular the Cité de la Noé, provides the setting for the main suburban scenes of Mathieu Kassovitz’s now-iconic 1995 film La Haine. Brutalist 1960s buildings depicted in black and white provided the backdrop to one of France’s most brutal yet human depictions of youth, and inspired scores of image-makers, including Magnum’s Lorenzo Meloni, who revisited the area in 2016.
