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.
3.5还是很热内，但理解的新技术和机器人还是很轻飘飘的。人类确实会犯错，会不履行诺言，但人类会幽默。本来其实很坚定三星的，但最后一小段迷之打动我。以及：非常想要那个打扫机器人。
怎么会有这样的烂片，眼睛都不干净了，还浪费了我的生命，毁了我的心情，真是太糟了
真实到压抑。主角也没有任何的光环，蠢到连个基本事实都说不清楚，看的让人着急
終於看到美波泡妞 但是真的女二選的太失敗 主要是和美波不是一個氣質 毫無cp感 像是被校園霸凌 跟班一樣 導致全程都無法入戲 日影和風總是不能好好選角
懒惰、贪婪、无耻的人类，迟早要被机器驯化，或许不是危言耸听，对未来的设定充满复古和审美的科技感，细节考究、用心良苦，富有想象力，悲悯中带有浪漫，戏谑伴随着温情，科幻佳作值得反复品味
可爱 不论是机器人还是真的人类 愚蠢又自大又残忍都会自取灭亡
吸引我的，只有那张吃饭的桌子(还是对机器人不感兴趣）
一般般吧，有点新意，但不觉得出彩。对古董电子产品的定位和对人工智能产品出错，做了有点意思的设想。
政治宣传作品，跟现在波兰现在偷俄罗斯天然气一样，西方婊子又当又立
6/10。从命题、开头的动画，以及不断出现的海，便猜想是否与311有关，后来发现果然如此。主创团队有野心，有想法，但311在影片中除了解释堇的失踪，似乎找不到更多意义。另外，双视角的互文画蛇添足，录像本就承载了堇的视角，影片将近尾声时突然转换到堇的视角，实际上大大削弱了录像的作用，而且也没有塑造好堇的人物形象与背景，倒不如利用好录像这一媒介。

如果是放很多年前看这个片子我大概会臭骂法国人到底拍的什么狗屁不通的玩意。现在嘛……算是习惯了吧……法国人的讽刺和吐槽基本就是这样不痛不痒看似力道不强。觉得片子荒谬吗，但实际上你法国随便路上抓一个人身边都一定能找到与每个角色都相似的人。所以我一边觉得好笑一边芒刺在背哈哈哈，到底是谁在窥视我的生活。（不是
饱和度高到眼睛疼的情景喜剧，剧情太拖拉了。
看之前：岸井雪乃和滨边美波双双下海，还要什么自行车哈哈哈啊哈哈！
#venezia78 主竞赛单元。Stark! 请给评审团大奖！
三星半 很可爱的电影 题材类似《机器人9号》新旧机器人大战 为了爱与和平 守护人类是我们的目标 片中机器人模仿人类的冷笑话很冷但也很扎心 做出承诺又反悔不就是人类的通病么
各种设定《辐射》即视感….内容还是AI反叛，不过里面的节目很讽刺，人类对别的动物做的一切反过来放在人身上是什么效果…
题材不错，
# 78 Venezia # 这是一部沉重，深刻，触目惊心的电影，虽然是发生在80年代的波兰，里面发生的事件以及司法程序都影射了当下的社会现实，区别是在电影中问题得到了解决，在现实中问题得到了掩盖
一开始以为是部311题材的悼亡片，但在堇的视角加入之后，看出了一点《横道世之介》的感觉。就像真奈问的那样，堇究竟是个什么样的人呢？她的头发越剪越短，她的内心离我们越来越远，即使没有海啸，她这台收音机是否也会对不上这个同一化社会的频道呢？电影由此更进一步，越来越无法做自己的堇形成一种对社会的批判。看得出来导演不太喜欢冲突比较强的场景，一直旁敲侧击地去表现情感，但有时候他反而不会做减法，所以影片显得冗长。
