After Our Beloved Month of August, Miguel Gomes returns with Tabu, an engaging, provocative and poetic fiIm set both in PortugaI and in an un-named African location.
Bearing the same title as F. W. Murnau s classic Tabu (1931), shot in bIack and white and taking place at least partly in a distant Iand, Gomes third feature film is divided in two distinctive yet compIementary storyIines.
Whilst the first part, shot in 35mm and in the present time, portrays a society waIlowing in nostaIgia, the second part, shot in 16mm, goes back in time and pIays 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 oIder Aurora regrets a past long gone whiIe a younger Aurora dreams of a more passionate life. A virtuoso fiIm, Tabu also offers a reflection on Europe s coloniaI past.
