BEAU TRAVAIL

beelzebubble - "Beau Travail is a beautifully render retelling of the Billy Budd story by Herman Melville."
PHOENIX74 - "I was really intrigued by this film about repressed desires and male physicality - along with jealousy and envy, the emotionally reactive component. It was really original and different."
John W Constantine - "Over time I developed a comfort and sort of fascination with this type of storytelling. It seems almost like something out of a Terrence Malick film with it's quiet narrative, limited dialogue, and pictures to tell a story."

I had Beau Travail at #5 right under God's Little Acre at #4.

Beau Travail was the most arthouse, film festival-type movie in this Hall of Fame - it was one I had on my watchlist. I'd never seen anything quite like it.

I feel guilty having Beau Travail low on my ballot. It's a good film and the kind of nom I like, it just didn't do much for me the 1st time.

I really liked Mona Lisa. Good nom Cricket.

God's Little Acre was last for me, and Beau Travail second to last.

I didn't see The Bank Job as anything special, but it was an enjoyable watch.

cricket - "Everything is of high quality, and it's the performances/characters which really worked for me the most. I expected that, but I'm unfamiliar with Paul Scofield and he was terrific."
Citizen Rules - "I liked that this film was a more focused personal story, versus what another director might have turned into a big splashy spectacle. We have big events alright but the story itself is well grounded and told mainly from Thomas More's perspective."
John W Constantine - "Paul Scofield's performance is one my favorites and this film and his character are one I could revisit very often."
