Short Film

Gauguin is a companion piece to Van Gogh, beginning with a self portrait by Gauguin and following his flight from Paris to an island in Oceania (Tahiti). The film adopts the tranquillity and composure of Gauguin's images of Tahitian women. But this evocation of paradise on earth is shifted as Resnais also evokes Gauguin's images of dream and nightmare. (Emma Wilson)

Telling the story of artist Paul Gauguin through images of his paintings. It's like a featurette that tries to come across deeper than it is, and therefore didn't do much. Not that I have much of a connection with Gauguin's works to begin with, so to me it just ends up cutting to one painting to the other for 12 minutes and feeling none the wiser.
