Gravel and sea, an army cut off from the outside world, monotonous routine and a love triangle. "Bad Love" tries to imitate, but the essence of what it didn't learn is here. And finally found the source of Liao Fan's awkward dance in "Fireworks in the Day".

9.5/10. In a French colony's garrison, a new soldier falls in love with the commander, arousing the jealousy of the lieutenant who also loves the commander, and various interactions occur between the three. Claire Denis expresses the loneliness, lack of vitality and meaning of life in this different cultural environment through various interactive events and daily life, thus showing the harm of colonialism to the soldiers stationed there. So the essence is to criticize colonialism, and homosexuality is an introduction. The movie is a fragmented sequential narrative, so it can be classified as a non-storyline narrative. The most special thing in form is to use body movements - not lines - to interpret the character's situation (unfortunately, the impact on emotions is still almost, or the score is higher), and often take some empty shots to assist the atmosphere. Therefore, except for the raving narration, the film has very few lines. All in all, this is a masterpiece that is light-hearted and realistic. At the end, the lieutenant was fired back to France on suspicion of possibly killing the soldier, and then danced in the emptiness. This dance is full of vigorous breath and the pleasure of venting, which indirectly influenced the later "Fireworks in the Day".
