      Why taboo?

          According to the timeline of the film, the story is basically composed of these three parts:
        at the beginning, Ventura embarked on an expedition to escape from himself, and went on an adventure to get away from Pila. Aurora said, "No matter how big the world is, you will never be able to get out of your heart." In the end, he jumped into the pond with crocodiles without hesitation. He knew that he couldn't escape, and the crocodile officially witnessed the two people's first...

      Tabu--Special Expressions And Taboos Of Love

      I like this movie. I know the director pays homage to silent films from the 1960s. Even though it's a 2012 film, I like that art form; it's very chic. The tale of this film is simple and normal, in which a married woman, named Aurora, falls in love with another man, Ventura, and the love between them But the director uses special effects to show us the tale. The name of the...

      This is not Africa through the lens of French director Claire Denis

      The film has a very compelling opening: the cinematographic composition, the classical soundtrack, the poetic narration, and the fictional approach, done in a rather chic manner. Of course, if you can stick to the lengthy dialogue and lame plot of three middle-aged and elderly women in the first hour, the second story in the back is guaranteed to make you full of energy and surprises.

      This is not the Africa of French director Claire Denis, and while there are still racial issues...

      "Forbidden"

      One protagonist, two stories, three-point structure.

      At first I thought it was about African mysticism, but in the middle it turned into an artistic stuff about loneliness, and finally it was pulled back to the most "vulgar" sadomasochistic story.

      The film has changed my prejudice against voice-overs. As long as there is a truly appropriate visual style, the voice-over may not be overwhelming.

      The difference in the time structure of the "Sun and Moon" in the two...

      fleeting love time

      "Taboo" (also translated "Taboo" in 2012) directed by the famous Portuguese director Migus Gomez, is the same name as the silent film master Murnau movie. It doesn't matter if the title of the movie crashes, the key is whether it's new or not. The black and white quiet style revealed in this "taboo" is quite intriguing. The film was named one of the top ten best films of 2012 by "Cinebook" and was named one of the top ten films of 2012 by British "Sight & Sound". The...

      No matter what kind of love it is, love is love after all, and it is not diminished by the devaluation of moral values ​​or any external...

      The first part is the magical realism of the loneliness and loneliness of middle-aged and elderly people in Lisbon, and the second part is the classical love tragedy of African colonies in the form of silent films. Personally I prefer the sad crocodile and ghost in the first part and the prologue, but the realist love in the second half is indeed more romantic because of the metaphors of nightmares and legends in the first...

    Evaluation action

    Taboo is long and concise because it is divided into two identical parts. A work of ingenious genius, desperate tragedy and energetic comedy, sound and silent, in black and white from start to finish. Miguel Gomez presents a nearly-disappearing society through a near-disappearing device ( film ) in a near-disappearing form of film ( colonial narrative ). The director's intermediate transition work is so perfect that it makes people...
