With Albatros, Beauvois consolidates his position as a masterful observer of the emotions (depending on social strata), notions of responsibility (and loss of control) as well as the deep-down existence of the death wish, all done with an assured sense of style and thanks to a fabulous lead in Jérémie Renier.
