Albert Serra | France, Spain, Portugal, Germany | 2022 | 162m | French and English with English subtitles

with Benoît Magimel, Pahoa Mahagafanau

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 rumour has been going around: the sighting of a submarine whose ghostly presence could herald the return of French nuclear testing.

"It suggests 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." -A.O. Scott, The New York Times

"I can only say I was captivated by the film and its stealthy evocation of pure evil." -Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
