In one of the most iconic music-related scenes in the film, Parisian DJ, Cut Killer appears in the film, mixing New York MC, KRS-One’s ‘Sound Of Da Police’ (an anti-police brutality anthem) into Edith Piaf’s traditional French song ‘Non je ne regrette Rien’; together aptly titled ‘Nique la Police’. The DJ himself scratching and mixing these two songs on two vinyl turntables and blasting it across the estate through massive speakers.

Kassovitz himself also took part in riots.

inspiration for the film comes from a history of French police brutality after Makome M’Bowole was “accidentally” (bavures) shot and killed at point-blank range while handcuffed to a radiator in police custody in 1993.

The important point is that they do notconsign the Figure to immobility but, on the contrary,render sensible a kind of progression, an exploration ofthe Figure within the place, or upon itself. It is anoperative field. The relation of the Figure to its isolatingplace defines a "fact": "the fact is ...," "what takes placeis ...." Thus isolated, the Figure becomes an Image, anIcon.

Even the two peasants in Two MenWorking in a Field [66] form a Figure only in relation to anawkward plot of land, tightly confined within the oval ofa pot. In short, the painting is composed like a circusring, a kind of amphitheater as "place."

One day, I climbed the hill for a better view of my work, perched myselfon a rock overlooking the orange dots, and placed my hat on my face to rest my lungs. There, mybodies parted and I learned I was free to roam wherever I pleased.

Eventually, the bushes stretched across the green fields like orange freckles on Katie’s sun-kissedface.

This basement is not veryordinary. On level one, the walls are painted a light grey color. There is a mini fridge withvarious bottles of alcohol. In the corner, there is a white rug with a polar bear head attached atthe end and a dark brown armchair with cracks in the leather. In front of the chair is atelevision—in contrast to the one in the living room, this one is boxy with two antennassticking out at the top.

In this house, no one paid much attentionto the mundane décor of the initial interior. The kitchen had wooden cabinets and stainless-steel appliances. The living room had a small flat-screen television set with a large, beigecouch—almost too large to fit inside the space. The dining area had a simple, white woodentable, square, with four white chairs to accompany it. The bedrooms were plain, with a bed, adresser, and blue wallpaper. A decoy

A comparison of pictures with practical objects such as a chair or a pair ofscissors might sharpen the argument. A chair is indeed incomplete without thebody of the person intended to sit in it.

We can isolate an object and set it against a plain ground, but only with theunderstanding that the ground does not represent an empty world but a nullcontext. An elephant shown in an empty world would be a falsification, dis-torting the animal’s nature intolerably. But an elephant drawn on a blankpiece of paper or modeled in clay and placed in an unrelated space is acceptableif the statement leaves open all the contextual extensions that define the animalin its world

After the ship's arrival in England, Equiano is exposed to Christianity. When he asks questions about his first encounter with snow, he is told it is made by "a great man in the heavens, called God." He attends church, and receives instruction from his new friend, Robert (p. 105). Equiano describes the various battles and ship transfers that take place after his return to sea with Pascal. He also expresses his growing ease with the European culture he initially found so strange and frightening: "| ceased to feel those apprehensions and alarms which had taken such strong possession of me when | first came among the Europeans"
