To quote Uncle An: "I couldn't read it, but I was shocked." The music in it reminded me of the beginning of 2001: A Space Odyssey, so it made me feel like a space movie.

In Claire Denis' fluid work, the male body, muscular muscles, and military drills are highlighted to the extreme (lots of close-ups and shaky hand-held shots), and there is also a female director's gaze on men as objects of desire, reversed The mainstream movie watching-being seen power relationship. Adapted from Melville's novel [Sailor Billy Budd], the space is transposed to Djibouti (the least developed country, and the largest overseas military base in France), the primitive and wild East African desert, barren and hot wilderness, day after day After a day of high-intensity training and washing and ironing, sweat almost overflowed the screen, and hormones flooded into the grid of films. The story is minimal, even without plot, interspersed with past memories, dreams, and reality, coupled with a diary-like confession, sloppy, broken, and false when it is true. Emotions, such as lust, jealousy, and remorse, diffuse in veiled and ambiguous ways. Pure white salt flats, blood-stained blue seas, sunset yellow sand... The magnificent empty mirrors and the soundtrack that triggers religious experiences all make the final outbreak and loneliness even more cruel and desolate. Staring at each other and the crazy dance at the end are too full. (8.5/10)
