French Film Festival: Gauguin: Voyage de Tahiti (Gauguin: Voyage to Tahiti)

Thu, Mar 24 / 9pm
Dir. Edouard Deluc
2017, France, 102 mins
French & Polynesian w/ English subtitles

In 1891 Gauguin settles down in Tahiti, where he hopes to find inspiration for his work as an artist and live as a free man in the wild, far from all the moral, political and aesthetic codes of civilized Europe. In the jungle, he faces loneliness, poverty and disease, and he meets Tehura. She eventually becomes his wife and the main subject of his greatest paintings.

The 7th Annual Alliance Francaise French Film Festival is a must for all cinephiles! Ten French-language films are screening this year for the enjoyment of all. Subtitled in English, our program is suitable for all audiences, and contains drama, comedy, adventure and children’s fare. Come and discover the 7th Edition of the French Film Festival at the Cinematheque of Winnipeg: a journey through the Francophonie!

Reviews

Cassel's Gauguin [is] both menacing and pitiable enough to make Gauguin: Voyage to Tahiti riveting on a moment-to-moment basis.
