Gauguin: Voyage to Tahiti

In 1891, esteemed (and inspiration-starved) artist Paul Gauguin (Vincent Cassell) left his family behind and readily accepted a government commission to journey to Tahiti and capture the native culture on canvas. The two years that followed-marked by some of his most enduring efforts, and his turbulent relationship with the teenaged model (Tuheï Adams) he took as his bride-are effectively dramatized here; Pernille Bergendorff, Pua-Taï Hikutini, Malik Zidi also star. 102 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: French; Subtitles: English. In French with English subtitles.
