Pacifiction
Directed by: Albert Serra
With: Benoît Magimel, Pahoa Mahagafanau, Marc Susini, Matahi Pambrun, Montse Triola
On the island of Tahiti in French Polynesia, the High Commissioner of the Republic De Roller, representative of the French State, is a calculating man with perfect manners. In official receptions as well as in shady establishments, he constantly takes the pulse of a local population from which anger can emerge at any moment. All the more so since a rumor is becoming insistent: a submarine has been sighted whose ghostly presence announces a resumption of French nuclear tests.

Press
“Pacifiction is a mind-boggling film, a large liner adrift on an ocean of obscure dreams, a magma of teeming fictions, unjustly leaving Cannes empty-handed while being the only one to brave the unknown, this territory of cinema both real and fantasized that Chris Marker would have called a “disorientation”».”
Mathieu Macheret – Cinema Notebooks n°792
“A hypnotic and captivating thriller, carried by an imperial Benoît Magimel.”
Le Monde.
“Albert Serra offers us a political film of rare intensity, where the staging takes on its full power.”
Les Inrockuptibles.
Reviews
“I wanted to capture an atmosphere of uncertainty, where the line between reality and fiction is constantly blurred.”
Albert Serra
“The film is a dive into a world where power is played out in the shadows, without ever being totally explicit.”
Albert Serra
