An Outcast of the Islands: Albert Serra’s Pacifiction (2023) - FilmInt.nuBy James Slaymaker. Pacifiction paints a portrait of French Polynesia as a land suspended between indigenous agency and external mechanisms of control and dehumanisation, an area still overcoming the trauma of its brutal colonial past and looking towards an uncertain future….” The first shot of Albert Serra’s Pacifiction (2022) – […]

CRÍTICA | PACIFICTIONA trama e os personagens de Pacifiction, apesar de pertencerem a um mundo contemporâneo, nos passam a sensação de um sonho distante. Enquanto que os diálogos e as ações nos aproximam da intimidade daquelas pessoas na medida do possível.

17.02.23 Letterbox_Michael Glover Smith

A ★★★★½ review of Pacifiction (2022)A slow-motion tropical noir -- suffused with a languorous, dream-like and sinister energy. Benoit Magimel cuts a memorable figure as De Roller, a French dignitary in an ice cream suit and the personification of the very concept of "banal evil." But to what extent is he a monster and to what extent is he a pitiable, ZAMA-like bureaucrat? Working with the relatively cheap Blackmagic Pocket Cinema camera, director Albert Serra and cinematographer Artur Tort do wonders with the Tahitian light: visually, the entire movie is a journey to the end of night -- progressing from light to dark and from

Review: Pacifiction - Chicago ReaderCatalan filmmaker Albert Serra has spent his career untangling and reframing historical and literary figures as avenues to think about history, power, and the human condition. He created a minimalist, slow-cinema take on Don Quixote with 2006’s Honour of the Knights, invoked Casanova and Dracula in 2013’s Story of My Death, and looked to 18th […]

Pacifiction - A Gloriously Maddening Vision of the ApocalypsePacifiction electrifies as much as it enervates in order to get on this film’s wavelength but is still something rare and special.

Pacifiction ★★★★Beneath the gorgeous green overhang of palms, the thunderous waves of Teahupo’o, and the glimmering rainfall of tropical French Polynesia is a rot. Albert Serra’s Pacifiction, a first-time venture …

A ★★★★★ review of Pacifiction (2022)Es Europa, en su sofisticación y en su decadencia. Es, en el sentido más preciso del término, una ficción colonial. Es el sueño tremendo con el que los hombres imaginan su poder y los otros colores con los que este finalmente se manifiesta. Meticulosamente pesimista pero soberbia en la derrota, cada plano parece estar desangrándose en luz mientras gime sus sonidos. El resultado es una agonía irrepetible, una letanía, las vísperas eternas de una redención que no llega ni va a llegar nunca porque los tiempos de la política (esa ficción que los hombres fraguaron para olvidar la muerte) nunca

A ★★★★★ review of Pacifiction (2022)Pacifiction es un thriller político aletargado y fascinante, un monumento exótico que se adentra en una catarsis gubernamental inminente. Hipnótica y con imágenes nunca vistas, se erige imponente sobre su propia grandeza. Una pausa eterna, con una fotografía inhumana. Magistral. Posiblemente sea la película más narrativa de Albert Serra, que no significa que sea fácil. Una historia críptica, en una espiral descendente completada por silencios y trámites fantasmales. Radicalidad pura, una historia enjaulada en la misma penumbra que se vislumbra en la noche pacífica. Serra va más allá, deslumbra con su estética y su atención por el detalle. Camina por

Albert Serra’s ‘Pacifiction’ is Already One of the Year’s Best Movies [Review] — World of ReelThis past year, Cahiers du Cinema named Albert Serra’s “Pacifiction” the best film of 2022. Serra’s film, a total hypnotic scorcher, is finally being released in the US this Friday, but it’s already one of the best movies of the year.

‘Pacifiction’ Review: Here’s the Art Film of the YearAlbert Serra’s “Pacifiction” is an immersive tropical thriller/reverie that’s like Weerasethakul meets Pakula — it’s one of the great experiences in cinema.

Pacifiction, de Albert SerraNo sé si ustedes recuerdan, porque quizá sean muy jóvenes, Rebelión a bordo, una de mis películas de cabecera que habré visto docenas de veces, en donde la tripulación de la Bounty, y el propio dir…

Albert Serra (Pacifiction) I like to think of the camera as something that helps me capture things I would not normally see. So when I see filmmakers watching their own images on the combo in real time, as they shoot, I cannot help but think of it as a tautology. Because they are assimilating the potentiality of the human eye.

Pacifiction, Albert Serra, 2022No es obra maestra ni es la mejor película del genial realizador catalán, que para mí sigue siendo aquella que trataba los últimos días del monarca Louis XIV postrado en una cama esperando a la ine…

‘Pacifiction’: Film Review | Cannes 2022Albert Serra ('Liberté') competes with this noir-tinged story set in contemporary French Polynesia starring Benoît Magimel.

Crítica de 'Pacifiction': Albert Serra conquista Cannes con una obra radical y políticaEl director de 'Honor de cavalleria' e 'Historia de la meva mort' se consagra en el principal escaparate de Cannes, la Competición Oficial, con una meditación sobre las cicatrices del colonialismo y la decadencia de la clase política.
