Beau Travail is a brooding drama about a French Foreign Legion sergeant whose jealousy toward a younger recruit begins to unravel the rigid order of his desert outpost in Djibouti.
Director Claire Denis blends military routine with dreamlike imagery, loosely drawing inspiration from Billy Budd, turning drills and movement into something almost like dance choreography.
The Criterion Collection presents the film in a carefully restored edition that highlights its stark cinematography and unforgettable final dance sequence.
