| #V036D [1931 - Reri, Matahiarii Tami - black&white - 82 minutes] This exotic classic tells of two lovers who must flee their idyllic paradise after the woman is declared "tabu". There is no dialogue, only music and sound effects, which help create the film's hypnotic tone, as does the exquisite Oscar-winning photography. Filmed entirely on location in Tahiti: there are haunting images of moonlight on water, bare-breasted hula dancers, and lush island scenery. Available for the first time since its original release, completely restored and uncensored. An unusual collaboration between legendary directors F.W. Murnau and Robert Flaherty.
DVD Features: Audio Commentary by UCLA Film Professor Janet Bergstron; Still Gallery; Outtake Footage; Short Film: "Reri in New York"; Theatrical Trailer |
