Review of Beau Travail (2000) by Tom D — 03 Jul 2012
I missed this when it was first released, but what an absolutely stunning film. A deceptively simple tale of a group of isolated French Foreign Legion soldiers and mind games on the Djibouti coast, cast in the style of a timeless Greek epic.
Sheer poetry. Guess I now have to see Claire Denis' other films to see if she can match it.
