Denis Lavant stars as Galoup, a sergeant-major whose position and power are threatened when the bravery and heroism of new recruit Sentain (Grégoire Colin) attracts the attention of the platoon's commandant (Michel Subor). Enraged, Galoup plots Sentain's downfall, a doomed course of action that leads to his own undoing.

Claire Denis's Beau Travail is a stunning combination of literature, music, poetry and dance that explores the near mythical world of the French Foreign Legion.
