 IN WHICH VINCENT CASSEL VOYAGES TO TAHITI
The film already played in France last September
This one already played in domestic French cinemas, but is currently playing around Europe and will get limited USA release July 11th! A movie on another famous painter GAUGUIN who is portrayed by famous French star Vincent Cassel in VOYAGE TO TAHITI. The movie is set back in 1891. Gauguin exiles himself in Tahiti. He wants to find his painting, as a free man, as a savage, far from the moral, political and aesthetic codes of civilized Europe. He sinks into the jungle, braving solitude, poverty, sickness. There he will meet Tehura, who will become his wife, and the subject of his greatest canvases.
