Salome

Desire becomes obsession. A dance carries a deadly price.

At the court of King Herod, Princess Salomé becomes fascinated by the imprisoned prophet John the Baptist. When he rejects her advances, her wounded pride sets a dangerous bargain in motion—one that turns a royal celebration into tragedy.

Alla Nazimova stars in this striking silent adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s play, directed by Charles Bryant. With elaborate costumes and stylized sets inspired by Aubrey Beardsley’s illustrations, Salomé brings a haunting tale of desire, power and revenge to life.

A must-see for fans of silent cinema, biblical drama, Art Deco-inspired design, and classic Hollywood.
