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

5 stars out of 5 -- [A] sensual cine-hymn to sexuality's struggle against patriarchy...

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

Brilliantly simple lyrical film was shot on location in Tahiti.

Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Rating: 3.5/4 --
A relatively minor Murnau film, lacking the director's usual visual flair, but Murnau's mastery of film as a visual language remains on display, along with Flaherty's clear love of its island location.

From the Front Row
Tabu is deliberate and forced in its playfulness, cheaply melodramatic in its tragedy, and unconscionably long-winded.

The Nation
Rating: 4/4 --
If D.W. Griffith created the language of film, he left it up to his successors to add their own personal esthetics. On the short list of the cinema's all time greatest artists belongs the name F.W. Murnau.

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."
