Pacifiction
Set on the French Polynesian island of Tahiti, in Pacifiction we follow a slippery fellow named De Roller (Benoît Magimel of The Piano Teacher and Bruno Dumont’s France) who over the years has taught himself to ably navigate both the French political system as well as the underbelly of the local indigenous population. Director Albert Serra (The Death of Louis XIV, Liberté) creates a slow-burn film of increasing paranoia, conspiracy, and threat, and starting at about the hour mark we are treated to a handful of stunning cinematic set pieces. Not to be missed on the big screen.
In French, English, Polynesian, and Portuguese, with English subtitles.

The Winifred Moore Auditorium is the home of the Webster University Film Series. Originally used as a chapel, it now boasts the most comfortable theater seats around. (Some of the original pews can be seen in the hallways of Webster Hall.) The auditorium seats 240.
In addition to film screenings, the auditorium hosts jazz and classical concerts, Opera Studio performances, lectures, town hall meetings, and other university events.
