Our suggestions
Paris, 1891. Painter Paul Gauguin ventures alone to Tahiti. Impoverished and solitary, he settles deep into the Tahitian jungle, where he meets the Maoris and Tehura, his muse, who will inspire his most iconic works of art.
"Starring Vincent Cassel ('Black Swan'), the movie takes a look at one of the most peculiar and interesting moments of post-impressionist painter Paul Gauguin, when he decided to go to Tahiti in search of new airs and inspirations. With beautiful cinematography and great performance by Cassel, the movie is an interesting dive into the mind of the artist, although it falls short of having a more consistent screenplay."
