Fort Buchanan

Fort Buchanan

Directed by Benjamin Crotty • 2014 • France
Starring Andy Gillet, Iliana Zabeth, David Baïot

When his husband is sent on a mission to Djibouti, Roger (Andy Gillet) remains behind with his adopted daughter, the temperamental Roxy, at Fort Buchanan, an army base in the middle of the woods. Over the course of four seasons, he seeks advice and companionship from his fellow spouses: a middle-aged woman, three pretty wives abandoned by their husbands, and a farmer-cum–personal trainer. Shot in richly textured 16 mm and slyly appropriating dialogue from American television shows, FORT BUCHANAN uses the tragicomic plight of a frail young man stranded amid a lascivious band of army wives to craft a queer soap opera for the ages.
