Salome's Last Dance
Salome's Last Dance
Oscar Wilde goes to a performance of his controversial, banned play 'Salome,' on Guy Fawkes Day 1892. A bordello's the theatre and the performers are prostitutes; Wilde's lover Lord Alfred (Bosie) Douglas is John the Baptist. Wilde's interactions with some of the cast soon ignite Bosie's jealousy.

This is one of my favorite films.
It's not everyone's cup of tea.
If you're going to sit down and watch it, have the state of mind that you're sitting in a theater.
That in front of you is a stage performance.
It's campy and corny and dark and bizarre and everything delicious.
