New at the Browning
Directed by Albert Serra
With Benoît Magimel, Pahoa Mahagafanau, Marc Susin
Not Rated, 165 minutes, DCP
In English and French, Tahitian, and Portuguese with English subtitles
As A.O. Scott wrote in The New York Times, Pacifiction mixes "John le Carré by way of David Lynch — a feverish and haunting but also wry and meditative rumination on power, secrecy and the color of clouds over water at sunset." On the French Polynesian island of Tahiti, the High Commissioner of the Republic and French government official De Roller (Benoît Magimel) is a calculating man with flawless manners. His somewhat broad perception of his role brings him to navigate the high end 'establishment' as well as shady venues where he mingles with the locals. Especially since a persistent rumor has been going around: the sighting of a submarine whose ghostly presence could herald the return of French nuclear testing.
Free for ND, SMC, HC, and IUSB Students.
