Tabu

Directed by FW Murnau

Silent with integrated score Murnau’s last film began as a collaboration with documentarist Robert Flaherty and evolved into the director’s purest and least inhibited celebration of physical sensuality and love. This tale of a taboo love between two Pacific islanders is beautifully shot and sensitively told. The screening will be introduced by Maggie Höffgen, Editor of germanviews.com. In association with the Goethe Institut, Manchester. All tickets: £3.00.
