Tabu (2012) Directed by Miguel Gomes Thursday - January 10 - 7:00 p.m. Friday - January 11 - 7:00 p.m. Saturday - January 12 - 7:00 p.m. Sunday - January 13 - 7:00 p.m. A love story told in two parts, Tabu is, quite simply a film unlike anything you’ve ever seen. Deftly moving between contemporary Portugal, colonial Africa and the landscape of dreams, director Miguel Gomes conjures an enthralling story of obsession, memory and dangerous forbidden romance. In Part One, we follow the seemingly ordinary daily life of a Lisbon woman and her attempts to console a neighbor whose health is failing. When visited by the love of her life from the past, the film’s second chapter begins, 50 years prior at an African farm in the foothills of Mount Tabu. Where as Part One portrays a society wallowing in nostalgia, Part Two propels a dramatic shift in tone and emotional power, delivering everything the characters dream of and live for. Portuguese language with English subtitles. (2K DCP. 118 min. Not Rated.)
