Tabu

1977 · 115 min

A serious, talky Swedish drama that watches like a case study of desire and social taboo, intimate but a little clinical.

Overview: Solidarity with the border people. Equal rights for the sexual deviants. Kristoffer Lohman is a young solicitor who collects stories and knowledge of different perversions. This has affected and changed his own sexual life. Sara, a young well-behaved and adorned woman, becomes interested in Kristoffer's activity.
How it feels: Earnest, melancholic, tense and romantic. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Sexuality, identity, justice, love
Content: Strong sexual content. Mild language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
