Utilizing a cast of natives in '''''Tabu: A Story of the South Seas''''', German director F.W. Murnau blends ethnographic curiosity with romantic drama as he examines the dangers faced by lovers who break the rules of society in Bora Bora. Best known for the more expressionistic ''Nosferatu'' and ''Sunrise'', Murnau dispenses with inter-titles and exaggerated gestures that typified most silent films, and reveals plot points visually through journal entries, newspaper articles and signs.
