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.

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.

Claire Denis gives us a beautiful, poetic film here, a meditation on masculinity and competition between men, which is skilfully built up to an inevitable tragic conclusion. Her eye for detail, and for composition is utterly masterful.

A slow and laboriously extended formalist, symbolist wank (and even literal, in terms of the half-naked male bodies constantly on display), wrapped around an insubstantial story. You may enjoy this if you enjoy the cinema of Marguerite Duras, by which Denis is heavily influenced. I don't.

Blah, blah, blah, work and travel with Foreign Legion, blah, discover the most exotic places, blah, blah, do some sports, more blah and suddenly it becomes a post-modern version of Triumph of the Will combined with the Star Wars Kid... right. Deep.

A man fondly recalls his time in Africa as a member of the French Foreign Legion. So good times as dudes do yoga in the desert, with plenty of shots of the bleak brown and blue African landscape, culminating in the most outrageous, greatest final scene/credits in movie history.

Honestly, I am beginning to doubt criticker: This film was dry, boring and disappointing.
