Salomé (1923), a silent film directed by Charles Bryant and starring Alla Nazimova, is a film adaptation of the Oscar Wilde play of the same name. The play itself is a loose retelling of the biblical story of King Herod and his execution of John the Baptist (here, as in Wilde's play, called Jokaanan) at the request of his stepdaughter, Salomé, whom he lusts after.
Salomé is often called one of the first art films to be made in the U.S.[citation needed] The highly stylized costumes, exaggerated acting (even for the period), minimal sets, and absence of all but the most necessary props make for a screen image much more focused on atmosphere and on conveying a sense of the characters' individual heightened desires than on conventional plot development.
Despite the film being only a little over an hour in length and having no real action to speak of, it cost over $350,000 to make. All the sets were constructed indoors to be able to have complete control over the lighting. The film was shot completely in black and white, matching the illustrations done by Aubrey Beardsley in the printed edition of Wilde's play. The costumes, designed by Natacha Rambova, used material only from Maison Lewis of Paris, such as the real silver lamé loincloths worn by the guards.
No major studio would be associated with the film, and it was years after its completion before it was released, by a minor independent distributor. It was a complete failure at the time and marked the end of Nazimova's producing career.
A longstanding rumor, which seems to have started while the film was still in production, suggests that its cast is comprised entirely of gay and bisexual actors in an homage to Oscar Wilde, as per star and producer Nazimova's demand. It is, of course, impossible to say, but one of the extras in Salomé reported that a number of the cast members—both featured and extras—were indeed gay, but not an unusual percentage of them, and certainly not all of them. What can be said is that Nazimova herself was a lesbian, the two guard characters (who, next to Salomé, have the most screen time) are at least played very stereotypically gay, and several of the female courtiers are men in drag.
Salomé was screened in 1989 at the New York International Festival of Lesbian and Gay films and in 1990 at the New York Gay Experimental Film Festival.
In 2000, the United States Library of Congress deemed the film "culturally significant" and selected it for preservation in the National Film Registry.
前面节奏感还不错，也挺有看下去的欲望。但有些环节设计真的有点蠢，比如为啥警察一开始不看监控……结局也有点刻意了……网飞现在是真的很喜欢迎合厌男恐婚情绪……虽然确实有一定现实意义，但过头了就……而且这些年过去了……Queen B的演技是怎么回事？？
和原版差太多 剧情平淡结局不清不楚 至少女儿要和服务生谈恋爱吧
怎么说呢……悬疑程度为0…你不如直接叫它剧情片……但作为剧情片它又太单薄了。
老实说我觉得女主的最后的男友好帅。最爱老套he！
最后几分钟信息爆棚 忽略不合理之处 跟朋友随便看看还是可以的 主要是短 在朋友的rooftop看的这部电影 因为白天天气好 躺在毯子上还有温热的感觉 抬头就是北斗七星 实在是难得的体验
对于社交圈比较小的人来说，失去任何一个亲朋好友可能都需要一生才能走出来
太过平庸，也可能是因为太过小众，
温情、救赎、希望。这就是我对它的感受。
BTW克羅地亞的風景很美
好心的阿拉伯大叔才是赢家，既找到了对象，还洗白了难民身份，哈哈。
很好看呀！！Lei妞yyds，剧情节奏也ok，有反转，即使是“it's always the husband”and“woman helps woman”这种常见戏码我也很爱看！只是最后结尾说到可以通过监控和飞行记录查出凶手这里显然是个bug以及女主每次把自己陷入很危险的境地比较蠢之外，其他我都觉得很好看，尤喜欢“Your heart is your guide”这个核心价值观
老爷子有点小固执却很可爱，想给孩子上一课，结果也给自己上了一课，陪伴真的是孩子成长过程中最重要的东西。
起始于一个不可原谅的愚蠢错误，之后的一切都没有意义
好心女主被陷害，幸得大叔来帮忙。
7分。荒诞却轻松有趣的喜剧，虽然充满套路，但还是能看出一家人的感情。放牛班的老师变成了摩洛哥的超级富豪。女主身材很养眼哦。结尾彩蛋是点睛之笔，小白脸也不容易当啊，哈哈！
三个帅哥加持，还是值得浪费生命中的1小时。
风暴之所以无限来自于失去女儿的永恒痛苦与自责，但只需一个人便能使对方得到内心的轮回救赎。
反派作品，却没比原版的好。。。情节感情线都没有原版的细腻
不应该是女主的老公吗？
为什么美国的电影最近拉胯得那么厉害？如果不做大场面，那就走心走得深一些；都没有。
