	Tabu - DVD Movie Central
		Tabu would be their only film), so it was to Murnau's credit that he was able to extract such powerful performances from both young performers.
		Tabu was to be a silent film (quite rare by the early 1930's), Murnau was able to concentrate on the visually powerful narrative of the film.
		Tabu is clearly rooted in a realistic setting, Murnau enhances his simple tale with subtle, allegorical overtones that enhance the film's emotional impact.

		The National Film Registry is the registry of films selected by the United States National Film Preservation Board for preservation in the Library of Congress.
		Often voted second greatest film of all time by international critics' polls, the film introduced the subjective point of view camera (where the camera "sees" from the eyes of a character and uses visual style to convey a character's psychological state).
		Tabu would be Murnau's last film, as he died in an automobile accident in 1931.

	Indian Celebrities: Tabu!!
		Tabu started her film career as a child artiste for Dev Anand’s Hum Naujawan and since she wasn’t the lead actress, Tabu gained little mileage from it.
		The first film she signed on as lead actress was 'Prem', but finally, 'Pehla Pehla Pyar' released first and launched her as leading lady.
		In the many movies that Tabu has appeared, one of the most noticeable things is that she wears little or no make-up.

	Tabu
		Tabu is the last of the silent films, made two years after the talkie revolution.
		Tabu is the story of Matahi and Reri, two young people in love on an island whose inhabitants still live their lives according to traditions that go back hundreds of years.
		Although Tabu's view of island life might not seem all that scientific today, the film was something of a landmark in ethnography -- in contrast to many other jazz age documentaries that looked at "alien" cultures, Tabu portrays its subjects with a generous amount of respect and artistry.

		Tabu does not want to act in too many films, Chandni Bar was released almost a year since any film of mine was released last.
		Tabu is more than happy that her decision to play the leading lady in Chandni Bar has paid her big dividends.

	The DVD Journal \| Reviews: Tabu
		Tabu's story is fairly simple, but what Murnau was best at — in all his films — was creating what might be called a "tone poem." This is one, and the rhythms of the film carry it to its fatalistic conclusion.
		The film was shot on nitrate stick (a highly combustible film element), and the transfer comes from this print.
		It's adequate for a film that's over 70 years old, but some moments are unsteady, and it does not appear to offer the finer remastering one might expect of a Criterion release.

	Tabu - Bollywood Actress Picture & Songs
		The film didn’t do phenomenally at the box -office, and since she wasn’t the lead actress, Tabu gained little mileage from it.
		However, Tabu's performance won the admiration of many, as she overshadowed the lead actress, Karishma Kapoor even though what she had in the film wasn't much more than a character role.
		Darmiyaan, directed by Kalpana Lajmi is an art film - not the kind that would associate itself with the average Bollywood starlet, nor the kind of film that commercial film actresses would normally exhaust their resources on.

	Content
		At the heart of Tabu’s story are Matahi and Reri, two young islanders innocently torn between their own romantic involvement and a tribal dictate rendering Reri sacred and therefore “tabu”.
		Unable to accept the mandate of the Gods, the two lovers tempt fate and flee their island paradise (the film’s opening proclaims the island to be yet “untouched by the hand of civilization”), and escape to another island inhabited by westerners where they must adjust to a radically different lifestyle.
		Tabu is generally regarded as the first great film to capture the European fantasy of the Polynesian wonderland.

		Tabu breathes a muted fire into her extremely demanding role, raging against the evil winds that assault her and finally whisk away her daughter.
		Tabu is surrounded by small screen actors who are too familiar to viewers to make an impact alongside the formidable actress.
		While in the earlier film, the heroine rescued her husband from the devil with the help of a tantrik scholar, Tabu's efforts to do the same with paranormal specialist Mukesh Tiwari, with a whole lot of sound and fury thrown in, seems unnecessary and annoying.

	Tabu Film Review - Time Out Film
		Murnau's last film (after three years of mixed fortunes in Hollywood) was begun as a collaboration with the documentarist Robert Flaherty, but resolved itself into Murnau's purest and least inhibited celebration of physical sensuality and love.
		The film is a rhapsody of textures and an exceptionally sensuous play of light, rhythm and composition.
		Its narrative pretext is (necessarily) heterosexual, but Murnau's homosexual sensibility was never clearer: the central image (and texture) of the film is the flesh of its young hero, and it is his virility that sets the tragedy in motion.

		Tabu was Murnau's last film before he died at age 42 in a car crash.
		For Tabu, he teamed with the famous American documentary filmmaker Robert Flaherty (Nanook of the North) and set off for Bora Bora to tell this beautiful story of forbidden romance using non-trained natives for actors.

	Tabu (1931): Matahi, Reri, Jean, Hitu - PopMatters Film Review
		The 1931 film Tabu begins with a disclaimer that reads, "Only native-born South Sea islanders appear in this picture with a few half-castes and Chinese." This statement is something of a red flag for the viewer cognizant of the sins of old Hollywood visited upon those other than the melanin-impoverished.
		This is also a film by F. Murnau, the director of the ur-horror film Nosferatu and, like his contemporaries Carl Dreyer and Fritz Lang, a consummate master of the angular and shadow-rife nightmare of German Expressionist cinema.
		The present print of Tabu, long thought lost, was taken from a carefully preserved print found at the home of the film's cinematographer Floyd Crosby, who won an Oscar for it, and restored by the film-preservation unit at UCLA.
