Storyline

After the lewd and frenetic "Dance of the Seven Veils", and with the solemn pledge from the very lips of Herod himself that she could have whatever her heart desires up to half his kingdom, wanton and proud young Salomé comes before her king with an unreasonable demand. Beguiled by John the Baptist, and then scorned for the sake of his god, lascivious Salomé--encouraged by her mother, the vindictive, Herodias--commands that John be executed and his head delivered on a silver platter. And so, the king agrees.—Nick Riganas

Short Review

The Salome film proves a chilling and watchable look at lust, power, reprisal and decadence that, along with Wilde Salome, validates [Al] Pacino's obsessive interest in Wilde's still-resonant play
