Watch Tabu Movie Online No Survey Acclaimed director Miguel Gomes returns with a sumptuous, eccentric two-part tale centered on Aurora, shown first as an impulsive, cantankerous elderly woman in present-day Lisbon. When Aurora is hospitalized, she sends her neighbor, Pilar, to pass word of her grave condition to Gian Luca, a man of which no one has ever heard her speak. Pilar's quest to fulfill her friend's wish transports us to Africa fifty years earlier, before the start of the Portuguese Colonial War. We see Aurora again, this time as the gorgeous, smoldering wife of a wealthy young farmer, involved in a forbidden love affair with Gian Luca, her husband's best friend. Their moving, poetic tale is conveyed through the older Gian Luca's suave voiceover, combined with the lush, melodious sounds of its heady, tropical setting, peppered with a soundtrack of Phil Spector songs. -- (C) Official Site Release Date Tabu Dec 26, 2012 Limited

Review For Tabu
The audience is left to imagine much of the story, though it is clear it involves love, betrayal, guilt, regret and a recurring crocodile. Betsy Sharkey-Los Angeles Times Portuguese director Miguel Gomes' latest film moves through different styles and eras, and proves that shooting in black and white is as versatile as it ever was. Farran Smith Nehme-New York Post Few films are this smart about subtly couching their allegorical aspirations within more straightforward narratives; fewer still are able to do so with such energetically inventive virtuoso style. Ian Buckwalter-NPR If you have the patience to watch this film develop and unfold, like some bizarre night-blooming orchid, what you'll see is not just the last movie released in 2012, but possibly the most original of them all. Andrew O'Hehir-Salon.com A lyrical Old Hollywood melodrama projected on a bedsheet? A celluloid curio à la Barnum's Fiji mermaid? At such times, it's better to stick with a simple "wonderful." Nick Pinkerton-Village Voice Its artfulness seems like an alibi, an excuse for keeping the ugliness of history out of the picture. A.O. Scott-New York Times For a decades-spanning, country-hopping romance on a low budget, "Tabu" looks great...it intentionally evokes in aesthetics, settings and/or plot elements such cinematic classics as "Casablanca," "The Postman Always Rings Twice" (1946) and more. Fr. Chris Carpenter-Movie Dearest The influences of Murnau's 1931 black-and-white Tabu are more thematic than stylistic in this uncategorizable new film Kirk Honeycutt-honeycuttshollywood.com If in the first half Gomes dares the audience to be bored, the second half is a cinephile's payoff. Ann Lewinson-Boston Phoenix Patient viewers will find some rewards with a quirky and charming film that develops a wealth of emotional depth. Todd Jorgenson-Cinemalogue.com A dreadfully slow screenplay in the second half undercuts the interesting handling of black and white exposition. Ron Wilkinson-Monsters and Critics Churlish though it sounds, you'll want to arrive for this b&w Portuguese drama about 45 minutes late. Joshua Rothkopf-Time Out New York Droll, mysterious, enchanting, and altogether singular. Scott Tobias-AV Club After a point, you start to forget what actual boundary-pushing cinema looks like. Well, it looks like this. Tim Brayton-Antagony & Ecstasy Sophisticated, lyrical and quietly moving. Patient and intelligent audience members will be the most rewarded. Avi Offer-NYC Movie Guru A dreamlike Portuguese drama about yearning that will appeal to the adventuresome filmgoer looking for something a little bit different. Frederic and Mary Ann Brussat-Spirituality and Practice
