- Synopsis:
- On the French Polynesian island of Tahiti, the High Commissioner of the French Republic 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.

French Dr Strangelove? - Pacifiction review by CH
Initially quite a gripping understated film…..but about 90 minutes in I wondered if I should definitely know by now, who this collection of malingering characters are and how relevant or irrelevant are they to the plot? I lost the plot altogether during the final blue lit cabaret scene….was everyone on drugs? Was some unseen overlord spiking their green juice? Too obscure, surreal and clever for me to follow.
