Cycle #𝐀𝐥𝐛𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐚 @Bozar (4/5) : La fiction, chez Albert Serra, a toujours été une interrogation. Comment la produire tout en conservant la dimension documentaire inhérente à l’image de cinéma ? Et que représenter, que penser avec elle ? #𝑷𝒂𝒄𝒊𝒇𝒊𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 porte bien son titre dans la mesure où il est un laboratoire pour la fiction. Ses formes sont employées pour penser la politique de notre temps, comme les grands maîtres classiques savaient le faire.

« Pacifiction » d'Albert Serra : Présages du monde flottant | Le Rayon Vert

Le film d'Albert Serra est un laboratoire pour la fiction qui pense la politique de notre temps comme les grands maîtres savent le faire.

Le Rayon Vert
Film hypnotique, photographie sidérante, plongée dans un empire finissant. J'ai vu #Pacifiction d'Albert Serra. Tourments dans les îles et troubles de la perception. Un film décentré, à tous points de vue. Benoît Magimel magnifique, Pahoa Mahagafanau magnétique.

Lush in its widescreen presentation, Albert Serra's Pacifiction is perhaps the most cinematically ambitious film I've experienced in a long time. Pacifiction is not dissimilar to Claire Denis's White Material or her most recent Stars at Noon, when it comes the hubris of White colonialism in its misguided superiority complex, and manifest destiny. But Serra's narrative scarcity makes Denis's films feel like reading a dense instruction manual for a washing machine by comparison. But what's offered in Pacifiction is its grand scope and risk-taking in cinematic filmmaking, much like braving the unrelenting massive waves in the film. The cold war is never over in the minds of white colonizers. It's a dated stupid game they play, even in paradise. Yet as the world is hurtling towards the global climate catastrophe and a possible nuclear war, Pacifiction doesn't seem too far-fetched or too fictional. I loved every minute of it. #pacifiction #albertserra #polynesia #catalan
