Tabu (1931)

£0.00


Country: US
Technical: bw 80m
Director: F. W. Murnau, Robert Flaherty
Cast: doc.

Synopsis:

In the French South Sea islands superstition and taboo rule the natives' lives.

Review:

A curious collaboration between documentary film-maker and master of expressionism. Acted by non-professionals it is a hard, timeless story, heavy-going but with moments of poetry (the cutting of a rope at the end) and a less than straightforward opposition of rationalism and superstition.
