Beau Travail (1999) - Ending
Dustin Kiyeon ChangClaire Denis loosely adapts Melville's Billy Budd- a story about the human desire to destroy something pure and beautiful, with a sensual, languid imagery. Arid, rocky Djibouti backdrop clashes with smooth, muscular bodies of young Legionnaires as they carry on their boring daily routines with no real enemies in sight. Galoup, a seasoned military man takes an immediate dislike to a beautiful, righteous new recruit Sentain and looks for excuses to destroy him. His feelings are mixture of desire, jealousy and envy. It's Lavant's physicality on full display here. His pockmarked face and athleticism dominate the screen. I thought Galoup's narration was unnecessary at first since it doesn't add anything much to the plot. Then again, Denis has little concerns for that. On this viewing, I can see how it accentuates Galoup's loneliness and isolation. The ending is definitely my favorite movie ending of all time.

MDonaldson →As I make it through some of the 2022 Sight & Sound entries I haven't seen (aided by the Criterion Channel's handy list-themed collection), last night I watched BEAU TRAVAIL (Claire Denis, 1999). I went in cold so I had no idea it was so poetic and internal. It grabbed me like a veristic dream. → https://youtu.be/Hh4HzACZOOQ
