What is this film about? The male form? Latent tendencies? Why was there a conflict between seemingly detached characters? I dunno.
What I can say is that it was shot in the most unique point of view I can recall. The cinematography, both beautiful and dramatic, was the film itself. The color, the closeness, the study of the characters were all brought together by the lens and Denis' attention to detail. Certainly style of substance but worth seeing for that very reason.

First it is a view from a woman in a men world. A special world. A close world for outsider. She plays with the male body and her camera, as you are used to be when a man film women.
The story is about jalousy, an more than a hint of homosexuality and self attraction .You remember loving to see young lesbians at their love play...Well she is a woman.
A fascinating film who go more profoundly in the intimated life of the " Legion Etrang�re "that you may think and spiced with the flavor of an unique country.
A fascinating film.

  filmed from a woman's viewpoint. That was very immediate.
  What was you take on Sgt. Galoups' "Saturday Night Fever" dance closing? I thought that rather strange/bizarre. It was if he was in a contest with himself to see how far he could push it.
  Anyone who enjoys film/cinematography should see this.

    The way she did the dancing Maroccan prostitutes was decidedly manly - dripping with male lust.
    Other Denis' films one should see:
    Vendredi Soir
    N�nette et Boni
    Skip Trouble Every Day.

    Your view on his dance are similar to mine, I would use one word " narcisstic " on top.
    Yes thanks Victor.
