🍿 Beau Travail, 1999 - ★★★½

A vibe. Weird film to watch right after A Brighter Summer Day. Almost antithetical in terms of form. Heavy emphasis on the feeling of the moment that it’s capturing. Would love to read more on this because I think I didn’t approach it with the right headspace or context. Loved Moonlight and I know Barry Jenkins has mentioned Claire Denis as a huge inspiration, and that’s very apparent. But it didn’t quite grab me like I hoped it would.
