This movie is better than most commentators say. Who has what power is important.
French Marines turn up at a nightclub in Tahiti. Rumors arose about new nuclear tests. The newly posted French Commissioner on the island seemingly carelessly searches for information. Does he know more? Sometimes he is very focused in the conversations and feels for information. From a cockfight, a battle arises that in reality is played more like a shadow play and everyone slowly slides past each other.
The film has a hypnotic atmosphere and melancholy. The landscape, the waves and the skies also draw you into the story. There is beauty in taking the time for the film and the puzzle piece to slowly unravel - as if everything falls apart almost naturally through time - without any effort.
