If one film this year will send your daydreams reeling into new visions of what a story can be, then that film will likely be Tabu, an unpredictable epic with one foot in the romance genre and the other in post-colonial commentary. Miguel Gomes's gracefully filmed "diptych"two stories told in sequence, unrelated at first glance but laden with aesthetic similaritiestakes place first in contemporary Lisbon, then in a Portuguese colony in Africa several decades earlier. After delighting audiences at the Berlin Film Festival, Tabu comes to the United States with a promise to provoke, enchant and mystify. Mark our words, this is THE film of 2013.
