SYNOPSIS
In French, Italian, and Russian with English subtitles.
Considered by many to be Claire Denis’ magnum opus, BEAU TRAVAIL sets Herman Melville’s Billy Budd in a distinctly modern milieu, telling a universal tale of jealousy while tuning in to the emotional registers of the physical world in a way only Denis can. The film juxtaposes its dry environment with the glistening, sweat-ridden skin of its all-male subjects.
