Country: Vanuatu
Director: Martin Butler & Bentley Dean
Cast: Marie Wawa & Mungau Dain.
Tanna tells the love story of a girl, Wawa who falls in love with the village chief’s grandson, Dain and both belong to the same tribe. Due to an ongoing tribal war, a peace deal is made between the two tribes.
Based on true events, the story took place on the island of Tanna, in the South Pacific. The narrative of Tanna looks familiar with the forbidden love theme. Directors Martin Butler and Bentley Dean manage to bring the feel of Yakel village by showing their day-to-day life activities and the visuals immerse us in the film’s unique environment. Tanna was nominated for a Best Foreign Language Film at the 89th Academy Awards in 2017. The actor who played Dain's character died due to an infection in his leg on January 5, 2019. Overall, If you like to experience a culture that you may not have encountered before and willing to spend time with the Yakel villagers, Tanna is worth treasuring.
Verdict: Good
