Hmm...I'm pretty sure it's staged because it's directed by Romain Gavras and the kids are wearing jackets with the Justice cross logo on them...I mean, the director wouldn't be like, "Hey, you kids look like gangsters--oh, you're part of a gang?! Even better! Do you mind if I lend you guys these jackets and follow you around while you go and commit random acts of violence?".

So I doubt it's real. Plus, when the kids hijack the car, the radio plays "D.A.N.C.E." by Justice, which would be a very strange coincidence if it weren't scripted or something.

I don't understand the controversy over this video, but I also don't understand why people are praising it. Maybe I'm dumb, but I just don't get it.
