Portrait of artist
Vincent Cassel stars as legendary artist Paul Gauguin in the film , available on DVD and Blu-ray. In 1891, Gauguin left his wife and children in Paris and traveled to French Polynesia, seeking new inspiration for his art. He married a teenage girl there and stayed for much of the rest of his life. 鈥淭his is a movie about Gauguin that, in the end, is less about his artistry than his ravenous sensibility, his desire to break through to a new way of seeing,鈥� Monitor film critic Peter Rainer writes. One scene takes place in 鈥渁 thatched hut in Tahiti where Gauguin is furiously painting, oblivious to the torrential downpour outside. Such is the power of Cassel鈥檚 performance that this sequence surmounts camp.鈥� (Not rated; contains sexuality.)
