In what would become his final film, F.W. Murnau's 1931 epic "Tabu" is a "Romeo and Juliet"-style exploration of forbidden love and tragic mistakes. The emphasis here is placed on tropical locations, with the production traveling to Bora Bora to make a native drama that employs authenticity when visiting local waters and villages, making the feature something of a travelogue for audiences unable to reach the Pacific Ocean paradise.
