Wk3 | Beau Travail (1999)
๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฟ
Hi everyone!
Our film this week is Beau Travail (1999) directed by Claire Denis.
Denisโs masterpiece, Beau Travail (which is loosely based on Herman Melvilleโs Billy Budd, Sailor) firmly established her as one of the great visual tone poets of our time.
Amid the striking landscapes of Djibouti โ sunbaked earth, azure waters โ the film follows a platoon of French Foreign Legion under the command of Sergeant Galoup (Denis Lavant).
The pace of their lives is beautifully portrayed, the rhythm of work, until finally it all comes undone, culminating in one of the most startling and unforgettable endings in all of modern cinema.
I know! And the way the sound builds up to it. Such a powerful film. ๐ค
Friday Short: La Jetรฉe (1962)
Itโs Friday!
Which means itโs time for Friday Shorts ๐ฉณ
Today we have chosen La Jetรฉe (1962) directed and written by Chris Marker.
Set in a post-apocalypse future, a time traveler tries to alter the past โ it would later provid inspiration for the film 12 Monkeys (1995). Stylistically the film is made almost entirely of still photographs.

Wk2 | The Night of the Hunter (1955)
๐ฟ๐ฟ๐ฟ
Hi everyone!
Our film this week will be The Night of the Hunter (1955) Directed by Charles Laughton.
If you havenโt seen it, youโre in for a real treat.
An expressionist classic, it feels more dream than film โ though really it ought to be nightmare.
The inimitable Robert Mitchum is unforgettable in his role as a preacher who holds nefarious motives for marrying an unsuspecting widow.
The screenplay by James Agee was based on the 1953 novel by the same name by Davis Grubb.
And the novel and film both draw on the true story of Harry Powers, who was hanged in 1932 for the murder of two widows and three children in Clarksburg, West Virginia.
