Attesa, azione e memoria in "Tabu" di Miguel Gomes

Tabu (Miguel Gomes, 2012) can be considered as a reflection on the role of images as an archive of individual and collective memories. The film conveys an idea of contemporary visual culture which rethinks memories of historical events through a project on the images and forms of gaze of the twentieth century. In the second part of the film, set in an African farm before the Carnations Revolution, the intimate and secret memory of a single character (Ventura) is subtly combined with the collective memories of the media images.
