Quote:
The cinematography is magnificent, as well as the shots of the Gauguin paintings. However the film was never relished on video or DVD. This is the dubbed English version which was available on HULU. In short the film centers around a man going in search of his wife, who walked out on him. He traces her to Bora Bora, and this is where his problems really begin, with his obsession of winning his wife back, trying all types of ploys to do so.
