About

You can stream Beau Travail (2000) on Max with a subscription.

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.

A feral, rhythmic physicality defines the central performance, turning military drills into a hypnotic dance of sweat and sun-drenched desert heat. This visual poem captures the exact moment discipline fractures under the weight of unspoken obsession.
