Regional Riff: There's Tahitian chants whenever Tehura goes to the mass, and some of them in the soundtrack in some scenes in which Gauguin bonds with the locals.

Born in the Wrong Century

comment
Born in the Wrong Century: Gauguin is fed up with his Starving Artist lifestyle and the modernity of 1890s France in general (which he perceives as bleak), and wants to move to Tahiti to experience something else, closer to nature.

comment
Starving Artist: Gauguin and some other artist friends of his are clearly broke at the beginning of the film. Things aren't that much better for Gauguin in Tahiti after a while, so he helps a group of fishermen to provide food to his new wife and himself.

Eccentric Artist: Gauguin is persuaded of being a great artist and has neglected pretty much everything else to pursue his dreams of recognition.

Downer Ending: Gauguin's marriage to Tehura ends up unhappy, especially for her, and he returns to France. The ending narration mentions his death in extreme poverty in 1903.

Artistic License – History
 Gauguin: Voyage to Tahiti / int_56515a39
comment
Artistic License – History: Gauguin wasn't a Starving Artist anymore by the time he left France for Polynesia, he had managed to sell a number of his paintings whereas it's said he hasn't sold any in the film. His disillusion with bleak modernity in France in the late 19th century is still part of his motivations to go at the other side of the world in the film, that said. Tehura was mentioned by Gauguin in his writings, but she might not have existed at all. Some scholars have speculated that Gauguin made her an amalgamation of several girls he was involved with. Speaking of which, Gauguin had, ahem, relations with Tahitian teens or preteens (which causes controversy pretty much anytime there's an exhibition of his works of art these days), and these are not depicted (for understandable reasons).

Arranged Marriage
 Gauguin: Voyage to Tahiti / int_80621707
comment
Arranged Marriage: A version of it happens with Tehura's parents, who leave her entirely free to choose to be with Gauguin or not at first in addition to asking him if he wants to be with her, and warning him — if she's not happy with him after a Moon cycle, she'll be free to leave him.

comment
Gay Paree: Gauguin and his artist friends hang out at a cabaret in Paris as part of their "bohemian" lifestyle, complete with wine, dances and topless women. But even that isn't enough to Gauguin to escape the negative feelings he has about where the modern world in France is going and he then decides to go to Tahiti.

Good Parents: Tehura's parents think about an Arranged Marriage between her and Gauguin a very short time after welcoming him, but they want to make sure she'll be happy with him, and ask her if she wants it in the first place.

Parental Neglect: Gauguin fathered children with Mette and hasn't wanted to do anything else than painting to provide for them, which wasn't exactly a successful endeavour. They didn't starve because Mette's family financially helped her.
