The exquisite tragic ending -- conceived musically and rhythmically as a gradually decelerating diminuendo -- is one of the pinnacles of silent cinema.

Chicago Reader
Tabu is deliberate and forced in its playfulness, cheaply melodramatic in its tragedy, and unconscionably long-winded.

Brilliantly simple lyrical film was shot on location in Tahiti.

Ozus' World Movie Reviews
As with so many other great films, this one carries its own burden of real life sorrow.

Rating: 5/5 --
It is like a picture poem, with its sunshine and happiness in the beginning and its stormy drama in the end.

Product Description:
Filmed in Tahiti, the story of a fisherman who falls in love with a beguiling woman who has been forbidden to men. German Expressionist director F.W. Murnau's last film is one of the most gorgeous black & white films ever made. Pioneering documentarian Robert Flaherty (NANOOK OF THE NORTH) co-directed the film, which won the Academy Award for "Best Cinematography."
