Justice - ‘Stress’
If I wrote for the Sun I’d call it an ‘orgy of violence’ but I don’t so I’ll settle for say that the gang violence and brutality of this video reminds me of Kidulthood and La Haine. It’s arguably irresponsible - racial and generational tensions in Paris have been running high for years - but it’s unquestionably a great piece of film making. The most troublesome aspect? Soundtracking the gang’s rampage with one of Justice’s coolest and darkest songs conveys an anti-hero like cool on them. We’ve got the same kinds of gangs rampaging through the estates of West London, they’re not cool, they’re bored, brutal thugs.
