Based on Oscar Wilde's version of the story, what is noteworthy is the sheer luxury of the production, an attempt to capture the wild and weird Aubrey Beardsley illustrations that transfigure the work. The sets are elaborate, with stonework and palm trees and draperies. There seem to be dozens of dress extras, courtiers at Salome's dance and soldiers.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The film constructs its visual language directly from the wild, decadent aesthetic of Aubrey Beardsley's illustrations for Wilde's play. It relies on elaborate, theatrical tableaux and a lavish production design to translate Symbolist excess into silent cinema.

What lingers after viewing is the overwhelming atmosphere of ornate decay and the haunting power of a static, painterly frame to convey fatal desire. — MovieFinder Editorial
