You ready for a baaaaaaaaaaaaaad movie? It’s just bad. And dumb. And weird. But pretty! And Tabu is Full Camp.
Wooo, Fitoor! Available on Netflix in America and some other places, and on einthusan etc. elsewhere. At 3pm Chicago time we will all hit “play” together, and then comment along on this post as thoughts strike us. I will start us off with an “And PLAY” comment exactly at 3pm.
Very excited to share this with you!

Yeah, I don’t think she really wants it. I don’t know why she is sleeping with him. The tension was there, but it hadn’t really built up, at least not on Kat’s side.

Honestly he just seems nutty now but I guess that’s the point? I’ve read a lot of Dickens but not this one ever.

The original has a similar childhood set-up, but then a ton of stuff happens while he is grown up that is unrelated to the romance. I guess this movie decided “let’s ignore all the friendships and adventures and jobs and teachers and family relationships, and just focus on Magic Love”.

Man, his eyes when he looks at the tattoo. I’m surprised this movie doesn’t end like Darr.
LikeLike
Because it’s not as smart as Darr. Darr looked at movies like this and said “we should make it a horror film”. This movie said “I see no horror here, just Normal Romance”.

The subtitles were over my head. I only got that he was mad at her, and she wouldn’t speak, even though – she hadn’t done wrong. Okay she did sleep with him, but then she tried to break it off.
LikeLike
So he starts off fine saying what’s done is done but then creepily asserts that he has a right on every future decisions she makes, and makes her agree to it. It’s the tone and how he says it that is creepy.
