| - Tabu (also called Tabu, a Story of the South Seas) is a 1931 film which tells the story of two lovers in the South Seas, who must escape their village when the girl is chosen as the holy maid to the gods. The actors are billed as Reri, Matahi, Hitu, Jean and Jules. According to an intertitle at the beginning, "only native-born South Sea islanders appear in this picture with a few half-castes and Chinese".
The movie was written by Robert J. Flaherty, F.W. Murnau and Edgar G. Ulmer. It was directed by Murnau. The title of the film comes from the concept of tapu (sometimes spelled tabu, which originated the concept of taboo). It is a form of sacredness in many Polynesian cultures (see: tapu (Polynesian culture).
Tragically, Murnau was killed in an automobile accident on 11 March 1931, shortly before a preview screening of Tabu was scheduled to take place in Los Angeles.
Cinematographer Floyd Crosby, father of musician David Crosby, won an Academy Award for Best Cinematography for his work on this film. In 1994, Tabu was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". Tabu was restored by the UCLA Film and Television Archive and has been released on DVD by Milestone Films and on a special edition DVD and book by Masters of Cinema. (en)
- Tabú es el nombre de una película dirigida por el director alemán F.W. Murnau en 1930, durante su etapa estadounidense, y rodada en Tahití. Comenzó siendo un proyecto codirigido por Murnau y el documentalista Robert Flaherty, que ya había rodado dos películas anteriores ambientadas en los Mares del Sur: Moana (1926), rodada en Samoa, y Sombras blancas de los Mares del Sur, en Tahití. Flaherty, sin embargo, se retiró de la producción por no estar de acuerdo con las exigencias de la productora, la Paramount, que pretendía que la película fuese protagonizada por estrellas de Hollywood.
Fue la última película dirigida por Murnau, que moriría al año siguiente. (es)
