Albert Serra’s languid but brilliant espionage drama Pacification aces its own endurance test
a brilliant movie is also what makes it a real endurance test to watch. Albert Serra’s latest film wraps up political intrigue and conspiracy in a mundane bow that is probably more realistic than most espionage films lead us to believe.
The main concern of the indigenous community are rumours circulating that the French government wishes to resume nuclear weapons testing off the island’s shores. Memories of the fatal fallout of the initial testing some 30 years ago are still fresh with De Roller sharing in the local population’s abhorrence.
In De Roller’s investigation of the admiral and diplomat, Serra brings some 1970s political espionage-esque vibes to the film. But the overall feel is bureaucratic in nature with the bulk of the 165 minutes devoted to belaboured meetings with different interest groups and lengthy conversations detailing promises and concerns.Courtesy of Films We Like, though, isn’t the political investigation or the mysterious nature of the island’s guests, but the glimpses of tourism’s effect on the population.
