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.
😭😭😭😭解封后看的第一部院线 忍不住掏纸巾抹泪了😭😭
我妻善逸只有一招，但一招能闪杀一切，也能单挑上弦。是否太偏心了T﹏T
鼓屋的疯狂感还可以更强，鼓鬼怎么可以在一个房间里就被彻底杀掉了呢？
虽然很多硬核技术显得很空洞，但是影片巧妙的弱化了技术的细节，聚焦到了人性和情感的复杂，爱与本我的取舍。原以为的黑色科幻转折也没有，但却不觉得遗憾，因为他带给我一些爱与家庭的思考，我觉得我会找个时间，跟老婆在看一次。虽然，也许，她可能看不下去这种电影🐶
老奶奶带着旧时代离去，有声电影标志着新时代的到来，唐顿就像个乌有之乡，即使世界即将崩坏，它自岿然不动~
可以叫《唐家屯拥有钢铁般意志的女人们和她们只会哭哭啼啼的男人们》。女性角色个个出彩，男性角色没有存在感
内容稳定，但是没有熟悉的大表哥，眼缘们肉眼可见的老去了。大姐还是很有魅力，成熟了。
上流社会的贵族生活。不是我喜欢的类型，我觉得挺无聊的。不觉得黑白默片好看，我还是更喜欢彩色有声的电影。城堡，电影明星，豪车，游艇。以婚礼开场，以葬礼结束。
演员教科书式的表演很精彩，但是站在剧情的角度扣一星，在我看来这不是最好的解决方案。
Always have ,and always will
总会有告别，然后开启新的旅程。有笑点也有感动，稳定发挥。
Ali表演深度又细腻,催生而出的强烈契合代入感#生命的终结与延续的另一种演绎
Apple流媒出品，俨然一副自家广告宣传片的样式，UI界面动画效果和家居装饰风格都透着浓浓的苹果未来软硬件产品的极简设计美感。陈旧科幻概念包装下的温软小品，电影既没有野心进行更深层次的伦理探讨，也无意走惊悚路线去设置反转玩阴谋论，回避了争议焦点，仅仅以爱为名做文章，中规中矩地讲述了一个关于生命与死亡、自私与无私的故事，用天鹅濒死前发出的凄美绝叫比喻癌症患者临终前为了延续爱做出的痛苦抉择，克隆体作为替代品可以完全复制本体的容貌与记忆，却无法真正转移灵魂深处的情感，这般高尚的爱未免太过自我感动。迷你短片的体量，靠拖拉的回忆和内心戏抻到了两小时，导演似乎还没有驾驭长片的能力，实际那点内容早已被抖音各大影视类营销号归纳总结了。在我看来同题材不如《Moon》好看，类似文艺调性也差《Her》太多。
想去南法！小茶杯的发际线啊… 一下没认出来。最喜欢的角色就是奶奶了，想看奶奶年轻的时候的故事。想看 Daisy 的婚礼没看到哼。大家一起拍电影太好玩了。
情怀啊都是情怀！The marriage is a novel, not a short story, full of plot twists along the way.
"90% of directing is casting"
鬼灭TV版被切碎的七零八落，不过确实几个故事都挺有意思
昔别君未婚，儿女忽成行。
克隆体融入现实生活，这样替代品还是不错的选择。
