It just seems that to become a great artist, it is enough to quit the stock exchange office, go far away to a tropical island and change the top hat for a loincloth. And that's it, Paul Gauguin is ready. No, not all. He also needs a woman, in this case just a girl, Tehura, who will open the earthly paradise of Tahiti to him. Gauguin is a genius, but he could not invent Tekhura. He could only write it off with his beloved.
Reviews
It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
