“I know that there’s dialogue in Beau Travail, but I’ll be damned if I can ever remember any. Denis tells the story almost entirely through physicality and movement. Throbbing with barely-repressed homoeroticism, the movie is a mass of engorged muscles and entwined limbs; desire rerouted through conformity and cruelty in the rhythm of the night.” – WBUR’s Arts & Culture, 03/06/2023
