Claire Denis' 1999 masterpiece centers on a group of foreign legionnaires in the sun-scorched desert of Djibouti. The legionnaires perform regular, coordinated and routinized endurance and strength exercises, the choreography reminiscent of contemporary dance. The film explores obsessive male desire and the dark legacy of the colonial era.
