Kopfjäger von Borneo (1936)

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0366687/

Kopfjäger von Borneo / Headhunters of Borneo

Director: Baron Victor von Plessen

Baron Victor von Plessen's "Kopfjäger von Borneo" (1936) is a magnificent early ethnographic film. The plot involves a love story between a girl and a boy of incompatible social classes, but I assume very much that Plessen first filmed the village life and the social customs of the people of Borneo and then used this footage to adapt it to tell a mythical tale well known in that culture.

His twisted fantasies require that Roberte seek out other men while he follows behind and keeps track of her activities with them. He mulls over sexual photographs he has taken of the episodes he has forced her to enact, in the street, or at their own house. Despite the somewhat claustrophobic atmosphere created by her husband's obsessions, she wants to bring up her nephew, who is in her charge, free of the darkness that hovers over her.
