      I was glad to watch the first "Beur" movie and the first French movie about the "banlieues". Overall it does a good job at bringing to life the 1970s in the banlieues (the projects), especially racism of older people and a younger, more mixed generation which is looking for something more than a job at the factory. It focuses, like so many movies, on a male friendship, where women are treated as mere commodities or made fun of. I guess it is supposed to show you the tenderness of the main characters, caught between ideas of masculinity and their sensitivity (I was not very convinced by this part).
