New 4K Restoration!
BEAU TRAVAIL
France | 1999 | Claire Denis
Here’s a new 4K restoration of the film widely regarded as Claire Denis’ masterpiece. Inspired by Melville’s Billy Budd and set among French Foreign Legionnaires in Djibouti, East Africa, the movie focuses on a drill sergeant (Denis Lavant) obsessed with a sterling young recruit (Grégoire Colin) whom he’s trying to destroy. Balletic and sensual, fraught with repressed desire and ruinous jealousy, the movie exposes military and masculine codes of honor and the legacy of colonialism to the harsh light of the scorching desert sun. The title translates as “good work.” Subtitles. DCP. 90 min.
Special admission $11; members, CIA & CSU I.D. holders, and those age 25 & under $8. No passes or twofers.
Expanded Covid requirements: In 2022, all Cinematheque visitors will be required to show proof of Covid vaccination and a photo ID upon entering CIA. This is in addition to having their temperature taken via a touchless device and wearing a mask for the duration of their visit. Learn more under the "Vaccination Requirement: Visitors to CIA" section at cia.edu/covid. As a reminder, filmgoers can park for free in Lot 73 and should enter CIA via nearby Entrance C.
