We all know Marlon Brando for his hit films or his two Oscars. But his relationship with French Polynesia, where the actor lived for nearly 30 years, remains largely unexplored. Because Brando, a complex, tortured Hollywood personality, known for being unmanageable or even obnoxious on film sets, escaped throughout his life to a small hidden island at the ends of the earth.By living in Tahiti, Brando thought to quell his anxieties and his depravity...but Polynesia with its exquisite landscapes, its gentle way of life and its singular culture were, in reality, only a mirage, an illusion of the idealized peaceful existence that the star ultimately never managed to achieve.
