Salome (1923) Art Film, Silent Movie DVD
1h 12min | Art Film, Silent

Avant-garde is an adaptation of the Oscar Wilde play. Rumors at the time of its production that the cast was all gay doomed its success with the mainstream public. However, the film is now perceived as a landmark of artistic cinema with its spectacle of striking visual images. With English inter titles and German subtitles.

This DVD of the 1923 Art Film, Silent movie Salome has been digitally re-mastered to maintain the original retro/classic scratched look and feel of the original movie that was so common at the time of its creation.

Salomé (1923), a silent film directed by Charles Bryant (actor) and starring Alla Nazimova, is a film adaptation of the Oscar Wilde play of the same name. The Salome (play) itself is a loose retelling of the biblical story of Herod Antipas and his execution of John the Baptist (here, as in Wilde's play, called Jokaanan) at the request of his stepdaughter, Salome, whom he lusts after.

Salomé is often called one of the first art films to be made in the U.S. 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.
