Beau Travail (1999)
This film focuses on ex-Foreign Legion officer, Galoup, as he recalls his once glorious life, leading troops in the Gulf of Djibouti. His existence there was happy, strict and regimented, but the arrival of a promising young recruit, Sentain, plants the seeds of jealousy in Galoup's mind. He feels compelled to stop him from coming to the attention of the commandant who he admires, but who ignores him. Ultimately, his jealousy leads to the destruction of both Sentain and himself.

An excellent tone poem with fantastic focus on the movement of the human body, repression and jealousy, and just how bizarre it is that these dudes are here in the first place. Superlative in every way on a craft level, my only issue was that I felt it repeated itself too often, and I wish some of that time had been spent on character development instead, particularly for Sentain. The ending was unbelievably perfect.

Lovely ending but I preferred Napoleon Dynamite. Also, i'm not sure if "just kill yourself you boring dick" was an expected feeling towards the end of this moving picture full of sand, salt and gay ballet.

Took me a while to pick up what Denis was doing but once I did it was great. Basically a feature-length music video-slash-tone poem.

Sometimes you just have to shrug and say, "I don't get it." There's some beautiful cinematography, juxtaposing a salt desert with sweaty men's torsos. It's a little too atmospheric for me, with a theme of repression that went so far as to even repress most of the plot.

It's like if Neil Breen had restrained himself on the political commentary to a lowkey level, didn't cast himself, and actually went to film school. Deadass her best, imo

Has a movie ever so efficiently offered a passionate critique of toxic masculinity, imperialism, and the clandestine intersections between them? The film's an expression of the fall of empire and, with it, a dismantling of the mythology of manhood. It questions what happens to the personal identity of soldiers when stripped to a brutal essence, especially as they're forced to adapt to a foreign world. It's also gorgeous in its unusual visuals. It's a film of rare, understated power.

Slow and not eventful, but still a great pleasure to watch. Denis really captures the oppressive atmosphere in very interesting ways. I think the monologue is quite beautiful, elegant, quietly poetic.
