We are thrilled to welcome Albert Serra (LIBERTÉ, THE DEATH OF LOUIS VON XIV., STORY OF MY DEATH) to present his new film PACIFICTION on Friday 3 February.

On the French Polynesian island of Tahiti, the High Commissioner of the Republic and French government official DE ROLLER 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 rumor has been going around: the sighting of a submarine whose ghostly presence could herald the return of French nuclear testing.

Here is the Art Film of the Year. Albert Serra's "Pacifiction" is an immersive tropical thriller/reverie that's like Weerasethakul meets Pakula — it's one of the great experiences in cinema. – IndieWire

Albert Serra’s loose, languorous 165-minute Pacifiction is, like all of the miscellania he has produced for cinema and elsewhere over the years, unlike anything else you can get your eyes on. –  mubi.com
