Description
Inspired by Herman Melville's 'Billy Budd', filmmaker Claire Denis 'beau Travail' is a stunning combination of literature, music, poetry and dance that explores the near-mythical world of the French Foreign Legion. Denis Lavant stars as Galoup, a sergeant-major whose position and power are threatened when the bravery and heroism of new recruit Sentain attracts the attention of the platoon's commandant. Enraged, Galoup plots Sentain's downfall, a doomed course of action that leads to his own undoing. Director Denis creates a dark mounting tension which underlies the exquisite cinematography of Agnes Godard, whose stark visual style contracts vividly with the graceful training rituals of the sculpted young soldier. A powerful examination of masculinity, 'Beau Travil' is mesmeric, sensual and extraordinarily beautiful.
