Who had thought to find a critic of THIS film in THIS magazin ?
And not ( even if a short one) a bad one...
I read :
Director Claire Denis took Herman MelvilleÂ´s Billy Budd as the starting point for this austerely shot tale of a French Foreign Legion veteran succumbing to jealous rage over a young recruit. The movie is actually less about latent homosexuality than about the alienation of men emotionnaly adrift in a land they donÂ´t understand.
ItÂ´s fascinating but also emotionally arid.The transfer captures the sun-drench imagery nicel, and offers plenty of detail in night scenes- although edge enhancement of moving objects is sometimes visible.
The sountrack has wide dynmic range and is particuliarly effective with the filmÂ´s atmospheric winds.
