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.
自家的版权就是可以为所欲为～剧情俗套，但彩蛋惊人
想法和表达都是有的，前二十多分钟尤其不错，有那么一点波兰斯基式的“他人即地狱”的味道，但安雅出场之后，观感就一路走低。精分/魂穿这都是什么级别的老梗了？但埃德加·赖特依然在漫长的篇幅中将其当作谜面反复咀嚼，只能叫人越看越烦躁。场面上是不算沉闷，但拼贴感太重了，70年代铅黄电影那学来的大红大蓝的打光，还有各种波兰斯基、库布里克、今 敏的情景复原，英伦时尚+金曲串烧倒是能跟隔壁的库伊拉联动下。两位年轻女主漂亮是都很漂亮，但表演都太表面了。
前面拍的真的是挺好，但没想到电影后面变成通灵探案剧我就觉得一般了。
怎么美国最近的动画电影都喜欢这种模式。松鼠大作战，童年回忆。
不够悬疑，也不够恐怖。当女主剪了新发型之后，这剧情就开始急转直下。
非常炫目的伦敦幻梦。最后略有泄气，但整体气质非同一般。最喜欢楼梯幻象那场戏，搭配那首歌You're my world，杀伤力十足。80
歌舞惊悚片……现在恐怖片都这么内卷了吗，什么花活都用的上
女主天天在忙啥呢……整部电影就看她在睡觉和听歌了
3.5。视听至少是取悦人的，但Edgar Wright真的有女性主义的表达吗？Sandie和Ellie作为两个独立的个体跨越时空彼此感应，那么联系她们又同时保持她们独特性的是什么？又是什么将她们共同束缚在男性的剥削之下，并在最后走向解放与救赎？我们很难从高于概念之上的层次来赋予这个二重身关于两性的释义。当男性凝视的幽魂从另一个时代涌来，影像早已溺毙在复古天花乱坠的喧阗里无法自拔，却找不到人物自我的片刻宁静。
全片很套路，就是有童年松鼠大战的滤镜，各种彩蛋，版权危机
3.5分。 赖特在这部电影中，展现了自己对于长镜头调度的能力，这和他以往的很多影片都不一样。在血与冰淇淋三部曲时，赖特主要靠的是剪辑的技巧，凌厉快速的剪辑，让影像在得到信息量叠加的同时，生成了丰富的寓意。这部恐怖片却并不打算如此，影片中很少能看到快速剪辑的画面，而是在流畅的推拉摇移中，让我们感受到悬疑和惊悚的味道。 另外就是赖特对于镜像的反复使用了，从一开始，这种镜像共生关系，更多是女主角的逃离心态，越到后面，越是展现出她对于现实的皈依。换句话来说，怎样让人感受到现实比幻境更吸引人呢？那就让幻境更加恐怖点吧！这看似简单粗暴的逻辑，既是赖特作为邪典片导演的古怪趣味，但同时也解释了女主角如何从对幻境的割舍不开，到对幻境的释然面对的过程。
7。感觉迪士尼就是拿2线ip做风格化尝试。1线ip却固步自封啊。
Edgar这部跟极盗车神性质差不多，歌好听和物理上的好看。拍的很好，下次不要拍了。
电影吐槽小成本盗版电影？但是自己拍的就像小成本盗版电影，不知道看了点啥，难看
刻板印象太严重了，依然是惊吓过度的女主、一群不良碧池以及能一夜七次大j8的黑男这样的设定。低配《未麻的部屋》算不上，伦敦《小时代4》。
等一个彩蛋分析

埃德加赖特大概齐也幻想一个复古小美人吧，前半段那些光怪陆离又美轮美奂的60年代风情，无比让人神往，埃德加赖特一向很会挑音乐，这次看出来还很会挑衣服，可惜自己老本行的编剧作业交得不是那么成功，后面的反转总觉得不够意思，或者没必要，落地了不仙了，俗气了一点，遗憾
没头脑和不高兴，IP大乱炖，ET大战蝙蝠侠
