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.
【1.5】轻而易举地拍一部陈词滥调出来，很难不怀疑是枝裕和是为了公款旅游。暂时不想认为是他如今水平仅限于此。
This is getting old already.

这些年一星二星的烂片演得太多了，就算是诚意之作，也不能打高分，以免凯奇叔叔又飘了，然后又造业把自己搞破产。
已经降低预期了，没想到还是大失所望，无血缘组合照搬《小偷家族》，生而不养又是《无人知晓》，可是枝裕和的这种自我复制恰恰少了对社会尖锐的发问，每个人设都是善良无害的，警察线和掮客线都温吞得像是白开水，买卖孩子的行为毫无推动力，最后硬生生营造出孩子被众多人疼爱的温馨感，甚至还提出堕胎不比弃养道德的奇怪观点，就好像是那种鼓励生育或是宣扬宗教的宣传片，演员也没什么发挥空间，宋康昊凭这个夺影帝还真是水分很大，裴斗娜演这么个可有可无的角色也很可惜。
虽然有温柔，有某个瞬间觉得很感动，但瞬间就会觉得被欺骗了。善意可以解决一切吗，比起要在孩子出生后重建一个非血缘的家庭，女孩不如堕胎，何必被那种“杀死腹中胎儿”的愧疚绑架，婴儿：谢谢你，其实我不想出生。除此之外，不再能感受到以前在是枝裕和片子里体会到的时间的自然流动，细节和对话都更像是刻意让时间延续，人物在其中也更像是装饰的泛音。如果有某个时刻，也就是想静止在摩天轮的蓝色里。
熟悉的是枝裕和风格，运镜、色彩、音乐和克制的氛围——虽然故事换了个发生地点，但也算南韩演技派顶配阵容了，因此电影在气质上也尽可能少了些违和感——其实按照这个剧本，年纪再往前10年的阿部宽，宫崎葵，安藤樱，福山雅治来围炉夜话，估计就对味了；// 这种小小的无伤大雅的违和感该怎么形容呢：日影的文艺感是温和深邃有时光来托重的——它可以下沉的相当彻底；而韩影的文艺感失去了些因文化积淀而产生的必然性——富五代和富二代的区别。
不忍心说不好，但全片又像为了这份“不忍心”而在努力一样，然而该怎么批评“不够残忍”呢？现实都已经这样了
創作上重複和原地踏步了十幾年的是枝裕和這次露怯得厲害，投影展所好的劇情卻編織得想像不到的潦草，全員聖母的故事反倒令人感到了濃濃的虛假和偽善。
很好 尼古拉斯凯奇很好 节奏和剧情很好 可以在影院看电影很好 看场喜剧从头哭到尾不知道是太久没来影院还是疫苗后遗症 成为superstar和拥有eternal love在现实里都好难哦

实际是相当二手的商业拼盘，近乎高声售卖般充满着自恋和自负，对待现实这一根基则如同套入既往作品公式模板标签，一副漠不关心的专断想象与虚情假意的自我感动，是枝，别装了，清醒一下吧。
唯一让我在意的是…
不能说很烂，但各种烂梗，还是熟悉的配方啊。
至于宋康昊的影蒂，其实也就正常发挥，全片甚至没有高光戏份，IU起码还给了几段。结局就嗯...太理想化了。重复自己重复得也水准下降很多
哈哈哈哈哈哈哈！space sister！
oh佩德罗帕斯卡演技好好啊完全就是一个天真烂漫影迷迷弟，基本扫过cage大部分电影的人看得很high很好笑，虽然这个喜剧本子写得确实乱但笑点还是有的。帕斯卡太可爱了我无法把视线挪开呜呜，喜欢电影的没有坏人（不是）
其实没必要加入侦查犯罪那条线，纯粹的公路之旅就好，同时也更能聚焦在他们几个的过去。另外，我很钟情于将镜头静静地对着人脸拍，那些真情实感的流露，简单而有效。★★★☆/7.5
遗弃婴儿是犯罪，那堕胎是不是合法的扼杀生命，又是一个双刃的伪命题，却没能掀起更大的水花，反而看得昏昏欲睡。
终于不是烂片了，而且是有预算的。中年人看来真的演不了战斗片了。精彩度虽然一般，但故事底子是很好的
