Review of Beau Travail (2000) by Josh S — 26 May 2009
Beyond letter grade or stars given, Beau Travail is simply a work of art, and the most aptly named film I've ever seen. "Good work." "Good work, man." "Sir, this is what we expect of you.
" All in this title. Beau Travail is freedom through oppression, art through work, and through cinematic ellipses, Denis strips down filmic narrative to the same regiment in which these men train.
It's basically a work of art, not for everyone, distant but gorgeous.
