About Legionnaires
From the notorius military jail of Sidi-al-Alama, Captain Sam Griffiths recalls his downfall. six months earlier at Soux-el-Had, a post remembered by many legionnaires for its relentless heat, Captain Sam Griffiths was again in command. He has trained many tough men in his remote and exotic camp. This time is not to be any different. That is until the arrival of a young new recruit, Giovanni Carreras. Kept awake by the constant grunts of lust emanating from the opposite cell where two other military prisoners mount each other endlessly, Sam Griffiths remembers the jolt of desire he felt that early morning in Spring when Giovanni first came out of the baracks. Watching his men he knew that they too, were completely under the spell.
Directed by Jean-Marc Prouveur, Legionnaires leans on a strong ensemble — Chip, David Bury, Giovanni Carreras — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 2002.
