Claire Denis and Barry Jenkins on Beau Travail

The two directors discuss the film over video call touching on various themes and tones within the film. Their chat is casual but wildly informative about Denis’ process and the production of Beau Travail. Barry Jenkins fresh from watching the George Floyd footage mirrors the events reflected in the film adding a fascinating layer to the conversation.

How has fentanyl Floyd got anything to do with this? Was Beau Travail a parable based on him changing that 20 for a banana?
