    I don’t understand too much, the French literal translation is "excellent work", right? In fact, it is very absurd. What is the use of training in this deserted place? The casualties came from inexplicable accidents; the sense of sacred rituals, but in fact there is only cold discipline in the army, the whole body of the pantyhose is army green, and the chief will still fold the quilts neatly after he leaves the team. at...

    We condensed into the salt of the earth from the collision of the rocks and the soft sea. I use my blood to pay tribute to the gods and then send you to the barren land to destroy you and destroy your own body-the landscape half naked and the original landscape are really pleasing to the...

    A self-suggestion in the incomplete image sinks into an unbalanced narrative with the appearance of babble. In the camera capture, shaking becomes an externalization of anxiety (blocked emotions), too much in a state of observation: training-movement is just a brief paralysis/movement of the body-the confronting body is in its original state of heat Driven by the purest description (males can only endure the alienation of broken desire while feeling each other’s pulse). Under Denis’s lens, the...

    93/100, the form is nothing more than taking the body in a broken situation (so of course Denis Lavan is chosen), so how the audiovisual presentation, how the emotions are stimulated, and how the mentality is refined become the decisive factors. Claire Denis is obviously the director who knows how to deal with it this way. She can shoot things that others can't. Even the air is wet and love is hidden. Contributing to the film history-level ending, the impact of the posture is like the fiery...

    #CC# Adapted from Melville's novel "Sailor Billy Budd". The scene was transplanted to the French Foreign Corps in Djibouti. The film uses the tone of [past tense]: the sandstone, desert, beach, the vast nature and the enclosed barracks separated by barbed wire that are stuck in memory by the sergeant, and the ambiguous reaction between a recruit and his superior: very subtle, such as When he ordered push-ups, or stood at attention/rest, his gaze was like what Mishima Yukio wrote in "Hunger for...

    Once listened to a lecture by Claire Denis, she said that "Beau travail" belongs to a series of Arte films. According to the production of the series, the name of this series comes from a statement made by Deleuze about Terres...

    Denis uses the memory framework in many movies, probably because it is most suitable for describing the mixture of subjectivity and the world. Beau Travail is the work that best reflects Schopenhauer's influence on her, and Melville's novel becomes a wrestling of will under her lens. No wonder someone compares her to Riefenstahl, the body, the object of the will, is a manifestation of life struggle in both. Coupled with the religious soundtrack of Britton's opera, all of this makes the movie a...

    Claire Denis' loose adaptation of Herman Melville's novel BILLY BUDD, BEAU TRAVAIL, her fifth feature, continues her narratological stream of consciousness, and whiskers audience to the foreign, exceptionally magnificent Djibouti, where resides a squad of French legionnaires, and our protagonist is...

    Didn't read it the first time

    Because I was fooled by the cover, I thought it was the very popular military lover and bought it. I suddenly felt something was wrong when I watched it. It was clearly a slow and dull French film of literature and art. ==
    I’m most afraid of French making art films. I don’t even dare to watch the...
