This paper looks at the problem of fracture sociale in France. The author examines this problem as seen in ?Le D?ner du Cons? and ?La Haine? and compares the two with particular attention to class and social barriers in modern France.

From the Paper:

"?Le D?ner de Cons? is a farcical comedy about a club of bored, successful and obnoxious Parisians whose lives revolve around a male adolescent game of one-upmanship. Pierre Brochant is an arrogant publishing executive who livens up his upper class existence by attending idiot dinners. The concept is discomforting, rooted as it is in an attitude of arrogant superiority."
