Bearing the same title as F. W. Murnau s classic Tabu (1931), shot in black and white and taking place at least partly in a distant land, Gomes third feature film is divided in two distinctive yet complementary storylines. Whilst the first part, shot in 35mm and in the present time, portrays a society wallowing in nostalgia, the second part, shot in 16mm, goes back in time and plays with history, sound, the concept of linear narration, as well as the ideas of melodrama, slapstick, passion and tragedy. Both parts feature Aurora at two different stages of her life: an older Aurora regrets a past long gone while a younger Aurora dreams of a more passionate life. A virtuoso film, Tabu also offers a reflection on Europe s colonial past. EXTRAS A Christmas Inventory (short film) 31 Means Trouble (short film) Review: A very underrated film - I saw this in the cinema last year (2012), and was blown away by how amazing it is, So good in fact I wanted to get it on dvd and watch it again. It begins slow, but the film is easily one of the best of 2012, as well as being just a fantastic film, full of rich emotion, relatable tales of love and loss, and a timeless quality. Review: Underrated movie - One of my faves from 2012/13. The first half requires some patience, but stay with it - the second half is achingly brilliant and pays off in the most unexpected way. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B009K568WK | | Actors | Ana Moreira, Laura Soveral, Teresa Madruga | | Aspect Ratio | 4:3 - 1.37:1 | | Best Sellers Rank | 54,749 in DVD & Blu-ray ( See Top 100 in DVD & Blu-ray ) 1,838 in World Cinema (DVD & Blu-ray) | | Customer reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (51) | | Director | Miguel Gomes | | Is discontinued by manufacturer | No | | Item model number | 5055159200417 | | Language | English (Dolby Digital 2.0), Portuguese (Dolby Digital 2.0) | | Media Format | Black & White, Digital Sound, Dolby, PAL, Subtitled | | Number of discs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 19 x 13.5 x 1.4 cm; 100 g | | Release date | 14 Jan. 2013 | | Run time | 1 hour and 58 minutes | | Studio | New Wave Films | | Subtitles: | English | ## Product Details - **Contributor:** Ana Moreira, Laura Soveral, Miguel Gomes, Teresa Madruga - **Format:** Black & White, Digital Sound, Dolby, PAL, Subtitled - **Genre:** Kids & Family - **Language:** Portuguese - **Runtime:** 1 hour and 58 minutes ## Images ![Tabu [DVD] [2012] - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/8192etEhpGL.jpg) ![Tabu [DVD] [2012] - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81sgf1-64OL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A very underrated film *by S***X on 19 July 2013* I saw this in the cinema last year (2012), and was blown away by how amazing it is, So good in fact I wanted to get it on dvd and watch it again.
