From Albert Serra (The Death of Louis XIV), and featuring mesmerising cinematography by Artur Tort, Pacifiction follows the immaculately white suited and seedy French High Commissioner De Roller (Benoît Magimel) as he navigates between the highest echelons of politics and the lowest social stratum of his co-citizens on the island of Tahiti.
Nominated for nine César Awards, and the Best Film of 2022 for Cahiers du Cinéma, Pacifiction is a dreamy, tropical and visually-stunning cinematic journey into the greed, hypocrisy and paranoia of colonial power.
Screening as part of the 8th Scotland Catalan Film Festival, organised by CinemaAttic and Institut Ramon Llull.
