Beau Travail
“Maybe freedom begins with remorse.”
Drama
Foreign Legion officer Galoup recalls his once glorious life, training troops in the Gulf of Djibouti. His existence there was happy, strict and regimented, until the arrival of a promising young recruit, Sentain, plants the seeds of jealousy in Galoup's mind.
VIBE
A hauntingly beautiful meditation on masculinity and unspoken desire. The film's austere beauty and hypnotic dance sequences create a powerful, introspective mood that lingers long after the credits roll.
