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.
印度现实电影总是直击要害，震撼人心，这部也不例外，全程没有任何歌舞部分，剧情推进紧凑刺激，节奏感强，最后真相揭开的时候却是令人唏嘘，而当qj女主的人被揭开的时候更是令人大吃一惊。能把故事叙述的如此深入人心，能与观众共情，确实是又一部现实题材佳作了！
女主表演浮夸跟在玩似的，苍白的眼神拖累了一大帮表演有代入感的演员，演得跟一个神经病似的，哪有曾经遭受过强暴的内在情绪，完全靠最后出的字幕来拔高电影的立意，以至于政治正确不能说电影的不足？女主枪击小男孩戏太滞后，女主的前史没有铺垫，挖掘不够，就一个道具人，仅靠影片快结束的时候浮现女主曾经被强奸的戏份是远远不够的。几次枪响对孩子们毫无惊动也是醉了，剧作上通过扯上一大帮孩子来达到目的的设计是有损女主塑造的，就孩子好下手好欺负是吧，只是导演强行保护女主不伤害到孩子们而已，人设完全靠硬掰。7.9/5132 短评1882条 %68/26/6 【IMDb8.2/1.8万】
太牛逼 在一个沮丧的周六晚上看完 热血，完整，激动人心
〖20220406〗原来是呼吁强奸定罪的电影啊
强奸入死刑的话会使被强奸的女性陷入极其危险的境地
【C+】学校版的《迫在眉梢》，但相较而言用了更多篇幅营造悬疑和惊悚感，真实用意揭示得较晚，导致剧情推进不够流畅、过于强行，结局也没能有一泻千里之感。
电影拍的一般 高潮不够 但是敢拍出来就值得尊重
虽然没有丧心病狂加入歌舞，但印度片还有个顽疾，就是爱用慢镜头，本来就节奏很慢，加上无数没必要的慢镜头，看得很费劲。一个悬疑故事，直到一个半小时以后才开始解谜，无语了。
戏剧一般的开始，过于理想化的结尾，无助但本质善良的女主，突然良心发现的探长。不知道现实中的🇮🇳🟤🌰是不是有在为了女性权益而如此努力，希望他们是真的在反思和进步。
论如何揭开一个犯罪，那就用另一个更大的犯罪！有点类似“长夜难明“讲故事的方法，紧凑感不足，力度不足，结果也过于美化
Karma never loses an address
无法形容观影结束的心情，对于这沉重的话题，我除了用128分钟看完这部电影，什么也没做。
2.5。重点在最后两段“演讲”上，以至于前一个半小时几乎毫无进展。陈思诚：我要买来拍误杀3！
太牛逼 在一个沮丧的周六晚上看完 热血，完整，激动人心
入坑是因为女主颜值 无论是温暖的阳光微笑 还是“黑化”后卡点bgm的眼神杀
挺有现实意义的，但细节bug也是真的多，总理在里面跟嫌犯谈判呢，你就敢下令强攻，不怕激怒嫌犯同归于尽？女警代理处长更莫名，嫌犯只是个女人不会开枪的，直接正面强攻就行，多飙才能说出这种话。总理秘书、内政部长老想代替总理做决定是什么鬼，篡权也没这野心，就单独瞧不起女性，女的是怎么当选总理的，不被强奸属于基本权益吧，保证不了也是挺奇怪的。社会舆情也和正常的相反，舆情应该是见一面可以救14个小孩为什么不见，而政府是因为不能开这个先例不愿意见。一开始杀的小孩也很明显是假的，一点悬念都没有

主线是社交障碍的小朋友开发友谊和社交，支线是霸凌，网红，亲情，家庭关系，中年危机，移民问题，geek小孩，互联网巨头，用户安全，用户隐私，商业，公司愿景等等....太多了。所以整体很好，但大结局就差一口气，没立住
内容差点意思，明显一副用力过猛的样子
80分/印度电影质量真的不错。议题深刻，直指印度女性的核心利益；悬念保留到最后一幕，就是反转稍弱了些。
