Last night I watched French film “Metisse”, written, directed and starring Mathieu Kassovitz who is best known for him film “La Haine” and as the love interest in Amelie. Like La Haine, the film is set in the hotch potch of ethnic groups that characterises the modern, urban world of the French youth. The cultural disconnections and appropriations really spoke to me (being, as I am, a funny, stupid Asian girl always trying to “play” Westerner.) The film sees Lola (played by the very beautiful Julie Mauduech), a biracial Christian torn between her Muslim, rich, studying law, black boyfriend and her poor, going nowhere, rapper “in the hood,” white Jewish one.
