► Piano accompaniment by Hughes Maréchal. On the island of Bora Bora, a pearl diver falls in love with a young girl destined to be sacrificed. “Tabu is the last film by Murnau, probably the greatest of silent film directors. The stunning beauty and artistry of this film make it essential viewing, and the exquisite tragic ending—rhythmically conceived as a gradually decelerating decrescendo—is one of the pinnacles of silent cinema.” (1001 Movies) “The film is a rhapsody of textures and an exceptionally sensual interplay of light, rhythm, and composition. Its narrative pretext is (necessarily) heterosexual, but Murnau’s homosexual sensibility has never been clearer… Fetishistic to a certain extent, the film is nonetheless never condescending to its subject or its actors. It is extremely beautiful.” (Time Out)
