Tabu

Portugal

Nice film about an illicit love affair told in reverse time. Many archaic features here...from the opening sequence showing a man leaping into the waiting jaws of an African croc to the b/w photography to the odd sound design in which we hear items making their normal sounds in scenes but all dialogue is silent.

The manner of the telling gives the story an interest and a poignance that elevates it beyond the simple facts of the story. Imaginative film-making...great fun for those like me who see so many films.
