Taboo

About This Movie

So, 'Taboo' from '88 dives into a pretty dark love triangle between a mother, her daughter, and a farmhand, right? It's got this slow, simmering tension that builds up as the characters navigate their desires and moral dilemmas. The performances, especially from the widow, bring this raw emotional weight, and you can really feel the atmosphere of isolation on that farm. There's a certain grit to the storytelling that makes it stand out, not just your typical drama. It's not just about seduction; it’s about the complexities of relationships and the consequences of actions that spiral out of control.

Finding 'Taboo' on its original format can be quite a quest, as it hasn't been widely released on modern media. The rarity of VHS copies, along with a lack of substantial digital restoration, puts it in a niche category for collectors. There’s definitely a small but dedicated interest in this film, especially among those who appreciate the more obscure dramas of the late '80s.
