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
As with so many other great films, this one carries its own burden of real life sorrow.

PopMatters
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.

...Exquisite photography... -- 3 1/2 out of 4 stars
USA Today
4 stars out of 5 -- Flaherty's instinct for the native way of life fuses with Murnau's dramatic sense of storytelling and eye for a striking composition.
Empire
Rating: A- --
A brilliant film that deservedly won the Best Cinematography Oscar.

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

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."
