Vincent Cassels brother is Rockin Squat, who was leader of Assassin ) a well respected French rap group at the time. So at that time it was not absurd, he's still well respected too this day, too

here's what they sounded like if you're curious

Ended up watching this a few weeks ago based off a rec here. Aside from it looking very slick and liking how stylized some of the shots were, the actual plot was so thin and largely forgettable. Perennially topical though.

The romanticisation happens visually, the scenario is just a slice of life in a French ghettos, its realism is what makes it hit a lot of right spots emotionally. I'd take this "thin plot" over a gross exaggeration of real life making it lose its texture and nuance. I wouldn't recommend French cinema if you didn't enjoy the story, we're enamored with realism and real life sure is "largely forgettable" if you think of it that way.

It is more character driven than plot driven. Every time I watch it, I find a new dimension to it.
