In portrait photographer Rineke Dijkstra's earliest work of video art, she captures her subject self-consciously lip syncing to a Backstreet Boys pop track, caught in the utopian emotions of music. Claire Denis' most devastating cinematic work, Beau Travail, is a loose adaption of Herman Melville's Billy Budd, set in the expansive landscapes of Djibouti. The film follows the masculine struggle among members of the French Foreign Legion.
