Tabu: A Story of the South Seas

a film by F. W. Murnau

This 1931 classic was shown as a part of the cycle Tiempo de memoria, memoria en el tiempo, organised by Instituto Canario de Desarrollo Cultural (ICDC). The picture quality of this restored version, in almost square aspect ratio, is surprisingly good, given that the original negative was lost.

Tabu was the last film by Murnau: a week before its première, he died as a result of a car accident, at the age of 42.
