The mirror shot from La haine

Haven't tried it myself, but there's a great rundown on the basic technique in the special features for Terminator 2, building a mirrored set and coordinating the actor's movements with their body double to sell the affect.
 
Aaaah ... 'La Haine' one of my favorite films.

But this is not the mirror shot, not by any means is this THE mirror shot from that film. There are so many fantastic, fantastic scenes in this film and yes the scene you showed is a great scene.

But the MIRROR scene ... if you really know this film ... the MIRROR scene is awesome.
But sorry dude ... what you linked to ain't it.

edit:

Don't want to leave people hanging ... three of them, Vinz, Hubert and Sayid are in a public bathroom, its maybe 2/3rds of the way through the film - watch for the mirrors !
The scene linked above is awesome too but there is no mirror, just the illusion of one and the back and shoulders of a body double
