    Crocodiles and Ghosts
  

*by G***Y on Reviewed in the United States on March 12, 2013*

This is probably the only film where a crocodile and a ghost sit side by side next to a river. "Tabu" is quite an oddball effort, divided into two parts - one is Lisbon in winter and the other is the steamy landscape of colonial Africa. Though both are in black and white, the African sections are filmed as silents, even using a different film stock to make the transition to an older time feel more distinct. The connecting link is the story of Aurora, now a dying woman who asks a friend to inquire about her former Italian lover.It's a film - like a moving impressionist painting -  about loneliness, longing, memory - of forgotten love affairs and dangerous places - in the world and in the heart.  Since this movie does not follow any typical familiar Western narrative structure, you simply will have to experience it as...texture, music, and mood. Portuguese "Fado" is like that.  I particularly looked forward to the African sequences which have no dialogue other than the old lover's monologue and background sounds, even some popular music.In summary, the director, as artist, is dramatizing how our imperfect memories reimagine the past. Now "that" is using cinema in a creative way.

    Passion Deconstructed: Beautifully Shot But Too Self-Conscious
  

*by T***A on Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2013*

A 2012 Portuguese drama begins with a sort of metaphorical prologue about an adventurer, which is followed by the main story, told in two parts. In the first part, Aurora (Laura Soveral), an eccentric eighty-something old lady, often gambling in the casino, asks her housemaid Santa (Isabel Cardoso) and neighbor Pilar (Teresa Madruga) to find a man named Gian-Luca Ventura. Aurora is clearly dying.Cue to the second part, where the story goes back in time to fifty years ago somewhere in Portuguese-colonized Africa. We meet young Aurora (Ana Moreira), married, who meets a traveler Gian-Luca Ventura (Carloto Cotta). Told entirely in a voiceover (without dialogue), the melodramatic story follows the fates of Aurora and Gian-Luca.Portuguese critic-turned-film director Miguel Gomes pays tribute to "Tabu," F. W. Murnau's final film made in 1931 (which also has a two-part narrative structure). Film critics would have a field day with this new film that seems to consciously play on many narrative conventions, with each shot carefully framed. But to me, Gomes' "Tabu" is a typical case of style-over-substance, though I admit I am impressed with the photography (especially that of the second segment) meticulously re-creating the black-and-white images of the classic films.The acting cannot be faulted. Ana Moreira is excellent as young Aurora. Two Ronettes cover songs ("Be My Baby" and "Baby I Love You," both sung in Portuguese) are effectively used. Her performance and the Ronettes songs, albeit briefly, bring in something emotional that is missing in "Tabu," a film that is beautiful to look at but too self-conscious for us to fully enjoy.
