"Beau Travail?" I think it's her best. "I Can't Sleep" is disturbing and a gut-shot to bourgeois society. Of course, "Chocolat" brought her fame in her first film; I need to revisit.
Which brings me to, "The Intruder." Worth it just for the actor portraying the older guy with a serious health problem. This film is VERY ambitious, perhaps too much so, and it jumps all over the map literally and plot-wise. Still, you're captivated by the story and the intelligence and skill of the film maker.
