Spect.Opinions on 'Pacifiction' are deeply divided, reflecting a mix of admiration and frustration. Viewers praise the film for its hypnotic atmosphere and Benoît Magimel's compelling performance, which captures the complex political and social dynamics of French Polynesia. However, many find the film's pace excessively slow and its narrative overly ambiguous, leading to confusion and disengagement. The unique visual style and the setting's beauty are consistently highlighted, yet the film's length and elusive storytelling are points of contention.

Synopsis
On an island in French Polynesia a writer returns to her country after having triumphed in France with a novel. However, she is disoriented and in a creative crisis. Faced with the impossibility of writing new works, she decides to accept a simultaneous translation job together with an ambassador. A strange love attraction begins between them, full of contrasts. Little by little she realizes the cynicism of international politics, with a latent threat of new nuclear tests by the French government. Her love affair with the ambassador will be affected by that conflict, and interest and romance will mix in a confusing and absorbing way until the sad end.
