Super Taboo

About This Movie

Super Taboo is quite a curious piece from 2017, blending hardcore elements with surreal visuals in a way that’s hard to ignore. The director remains a mystery, but the film itself tackles Taiwan's complex relationship with pornography, draping it in pop art colors that catch the eye. The long takes are something else—immersive and almost hypnotic. There’s a distinct contrast between the explicit and the aesthetic, creating a tension that permeates the entire film. You get this sense of tableaux vivants, characters frozen in their desires, demanding their freedom in a society that’s still grappling with its own taboos. It’s not just about the visuals; it’s about the underlying themes of repression and liberation. A unique experience, to say the least.
