Customer Reviews of Tabu: A Story of the South Seas
Great directors Murnau and Flaherty make a movie together "Tabu" was filmed entirely in Tahiti and represents a most unusual collaboration between two legendary directors: F. W. Murnau ("Sunrise") and Robert J. Flaherty ("Nanook of the North"). "Tabu" tells the story of Matahi, a young fisherman, who falls in love with the beautiful Reri. But when their love is doomed by a tribal edict, which decrees the her to be "tabu" to all men, the couple run away. However, civilization does not prove to be any better for the star-crossed lovers. A beautiful film, just for its depiction of life on the South Sea Islands, "Tabu" is exactly the type of film you would think Murnau and Flaherty would make together. This was Murnau's last film. After making three movies in Hollywood he was disillusioned with the studio system and was looking to make a partnership with Flaherty. This 1931 silent film, made three years into the sound era (a decision which perhaps owes as much to the difficulty of getting sound equipment to the South Pacific as it does to artistic inclination), won a well-deserved Oscar for Cinematography and was added to the National Film Registry in 1994.
