Beau Travail is such a beautiful film. So ethereal and dream-like. Touches on themes such as masculinity, the human condition, desire and repression. Denis Lavant stars as Galoup, reminiscing about his days in the French Foreign Legion, his admiration for his commanding officer, and an ensuing, bitter rivalry with a recently arrived private. His performance evokes this uncanny feeling to it that only memories are able to achieve. Undoubtedly my favorite film from Claire Denis. That ending will stay with you for a long time. A true masterpiece and a trascendent achievement of cinema.

Oh no! The earth-shattering success of Baby Annette's fame has caused a rift in the Caraxverse, causing Sparks & co to now be starring in all of Leos' films, starting with his debut Boy Meets Girl-- now starring Russell & Jane Wiedlin!!
