Acclaimed director Miguel Gomes returns with a sumptuous, eccentric two-part tale centered on Aurora, shown first as an impulsive, cantankerous elderly woman in present-day Lisbon. When Aurora is hospitalized, she sends her neighbor, Pilar, to pass word of her grave condition to Gian Luca, a man of which no one has ever heard her speak. Pilar's quest to fulfill her friend's wish transports us to Africa fifty years earlier, before the start of the Portuguese Colonial War. We see Aurora again, this time as the gorgeous, smoldering wife of a wealthy young farmer, involved in a forbidden love affair with Gian Luca, her husband's best friend. Their moving, poetic tale is conveyed through the older Gian Luca's suave voiceover, combined with the lush, melodious sounds of its heady, tropical setting, peppered with a soundtrack of Phil Spector songs. -- (C) Official SiteIf You Like this movie you can streaming Tabu movie without downloading HERE

Review For Tabu
It takes a while to get to the meat of the movie, but it's well worth the wait.Michael O'Sullivan-Washington Post
It almost seems a parody of willfully obscure art-house fare. Yet it has an undertow that sucks you in as often as it strands you back on shore.
Ty Burr-Boston Globe
A kind of jigsaw puzzle, spiced up with references to "White Mischief," "Out of Africa" and "The Snows of Kilimanjaro," that will frustrate some audiences and fascinate others.
John Hartl-Seattle Times
The audience is left to imagine much of the story, though it is clear it involves love, betrayal, guilt, regret and a recurring crocodile.
Betsy Sharkey-Los Angeles Times
Portuguese director Miguel Gomes' latest film moves through different styles and eras, and proves that shooting in black and white is as versatile as it ever was.
Farran Smith Nehme-New York Post
Few films are this smart about subtly couching their allegorical aspirations within more straightforward narratives; fewer still are able to do so with such energetically inventive virtuoso style.
Ian Buckwalter-NPR
The art-house film transcends some absurd moments and leaves us with a lyrical and magically satisfying romantic adventure story that is both eccentric and sublime.
Dennis Schwartz-Ozus' World Movie Reviews
It's far-from-enthralling.
Jim Schembri-3AW
While the path through this unconventional film is not always obvious, it is a sensuous, mysterious and intoxicating path worth taking.
Thomas Caldwell-Cinema Autopsy
This beguiling and eerie tale of illicit romance and nostalgia for lost love is one for the patient and the adventurous.
Simon Weaving-Screenwize
If you are still awake after the first hour of this challenging and often off-putting film from Miguel Gomez, you may find unexpected ethereal rewards in the second half, when a curious, dialogue-free narrative transports us into another realm
Louise Keller-Urban Cinefile
Every so often a film comes along that recharges your love of cinema. Miguel Gomes' Tabu is just that gem: a film of such artistry and daring that you'll be left dazzled by the possibilities of the medium.
Alice Tynan-Limelight
The latter part of the film recalls 1987's "White Mischief," but in Gomes's hands, the story becomes much more...the past and the present continually flow into one another...
Laura Clifford-Reeling Reviews
The black-and-white cinematography and silent-film feel are haunting and nostalgic, and Aurora's story encapsulates a broader, bittersweet truth about the perils of tinted memory.
Marc Mohan-Oregonian
For a decades-spanning, country-hopping romance on a low budget, "Tabu" looks great...it intentionally evokes in aesthetics, settings and/or plot elements such cinematic classics as "Casablanca," "The Postman Always Rings Twice" (1946) and more.
Fr. Chris Carpenter-Movie Dearest
The influences of Murnau's 1931 black-and-white Tabu are more thematic than stylistic in this uncategorizable new film
Kirk Honeycutt-honeycuttshollywood.com
If in the first half Gomes dares the audience to be bored, the second half is a cinephile's payoff.
Ann Lewinson-Boston Phoenix
Patient viewers will find some rewards with a quirky and charming film that develops a wealth of emotional depth.
Todd Jorgenson-Cinemalogue.com
A dreadfully slow screenplay in the second half undercuts the interesting handling of black and white exposition.
