If you loved 35 Shots of Rum, try Beau Travail
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Claire Denis, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to 35 Shots of Rum, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Beau Travail is
The disciplined solitude of a Foreign Legion outpost meets the simmering intensity of a rivalry without a cause. A hardened officer’s orderly routine unravels when a charismatic newcomer upstages every ritual that once anchored him. The pain is danced, not spoken, and the desert hums along.
