It's supposed to be an imaginary/unknown country. The Mount Tabu doesn't exist btw.

Great quote of the mother, which said a lot; "My main goal lin life was not to think`".
This film has 8 nominations for the Oscars. Where did it all go wrong?

The recording of this movie has at least caused a tiny hole in the ozone-layer.
Wins audience-award at the IFFRotterdam 2013.
From what I can tell the African-scenes were mostly shot in Mozambique. Pity it's nowhere mentioned in the movie.

That's what I thought Mount Tabu didn't exist. I wasn't aware the country was supposed to be imaginary. License-plates were Mozambican, that's why I thought it was actually playing in hat area. Thanks for your explanation.

Where exactly in Mozambique is Mount Tabu? There is no Mount Tabu in Mozambique, don't believe everything you see in the movies. The film was shot in the north of the Zambezia province, near the border with Malawi. It is a mountain region dominated by the cultivation of tea. In the film, it's not even supposed to be Mozambique, it's an unnamed former Portuguese colony, an indeterminate historical territory reinvented for a film called Tabu.
This did not change my mind on the possible existence of a 'God'.

Closing film of the Rotterdam Film Festival later this month..
Felt the excitement tonight of watching a new Tarantino for the first time, and enjoyed (almost) every minute of it.
Hearing The House of The Rising Sun in this was a bit weird, didn't fit so well.
Unbelievable it took me until Xmas 2012 to watch this for the very first time.
The eternal conflict of a white person being in Africa; "need money, need more money".

Pretty funny in a very absurdistic way.
The story had quite some similarities with the 2011 Icelandic film Volcano (Eldfjall), which is up for free watching here on Mubi.

My visit to an African hospital last year was more pleasant than any of the medical centres in this film.

This could have done with less music determining the atmosphere, nonetheless a good and interesting document.
