About Service Actif
A recruitment office in the tropical heat of La Republic de los Mosquitos. Beneath the turning fans, wearing only white pants, the boys wait to undergo close inspection. Initiations, maneuvers in battle dress, abuse from NCOs, pillow fights, the squabbles and sexual tension of young men deprived of female company.
Directed by Jean-Daniel Cadinot, Service Actif leans on a strong ensemble — Serge Charnay, Fred Scherer, Kasimir Linder — 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 1990.
