Leave your thoughts about Beau Travail.
| Slant MagazineEd GonzalezBeau Travail is an allegorical tale of revenge and jealousy set within a French Foreign Legion outpost in Africa. |
| Village VoiceJ. HobermanA movie so tactile in its cinematography, inventive in its camera placement, and sensuous in its editing that the purposefully oblique and languid narrative is all but eclipsed. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLisa Schwarzbaum(Denis's) visual style is hypnotic, rapturous, and she makes barren landscapes look gorgeous, hard men look vulnerable. |
| The New York TimesStephen HoldenA film that has the sweep and esthetic power of a full-length ballet. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael WilmingtonYou may not like Beau Travail - which is, after all, a quintessential "critic's film" - but I think you'll have to admit it's been almost perfectly executed. |
| UK CriticIan Waldron-MantganiThe final scene feels tragic; the rest of the movie is boring. |
| Film.comPeter BrunetteLeaving the theater, you feel not only as if you've been in a foreign country, but as if you'd gone there inside someone else's skin. |
| New York Daily NewsJami BernardA ruggedly beautiful landscape of desert and sea provides a dramatic setting for a psychological drama told with the utmost rigor--and unabashed eroticism. |
| Austin ChronicleMarjorie BaumgartenA stunning work of beauty, mystery, contemplation, and grit -- and like sands through the desert hourglass, these are the days of our lives. |
| SalonCharles TaylorClaire Denis' baffling and exhilarating "Billy Budd" smolders with heat-blasted rhythms and supercharged acting. |
