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.
一个实在是让人感动的故事，片尾的《初吻》主题曲，一下子拉回到那个纯真的苏菲玛索时代。
卷福出演怪异天才的履历又添一笔，想不到路易斯·韦恩这么多可爱有趣的画作背后竟然是如此悲惨的人生经历。中规中矩、平铺直叙的传记片，核心线索不太明朗让叙事有点偏流水账，好在一些超现实的运用给片子带来了一点别致与怪诞，另外4:3画幅+光影下的英伦田园风光如油画美不胜收，恍惚间想起《月升王国》。
朴演员确实高中生扮相很违和了，完全靠演技完成了这部影片，演技投入度依旧很高。❤️
真好看，让我想起假如爱有天意的感觉，虽然剧情并不同，但很温暖，方言加持演员演技剧情推进都没的说，韩国人在这方面做的真好，总是知道在哪里使力，让你哭到眼睛疼，却也会傻到可爱傻到笑，很温暖，家人是这世上最打动人也是最容易共情的关系话题，强烈推荐～

When it comes to drawing, there's only one rule, you ever need to teach. It's to look.
the narration is too much, the span of time is too long, the world is full of beauty, and it's up to you to capture it,
明明不长却觉得好漫长。前半段和妻子的部分好看，虽然很像在看the theory of everything. 整个就好惨哦。
有点假，感觉人物立不起来，冲突引发的情感共鸣不到
男主看着小女孩在妈妈坠落的地方蹲着时因为小还没意识到死亡是什么的时候男主抱头痛哭，因为这一切他都经历过。
大概是今年最容易被忽略和低估的一部好电影
镜头真的很美，春天湖边看花，夏天躲雨，秋天踩落叶，冬天玩雪，这不就是很多人理想中的爱情：“你让我的世界更美好”
很乡里乡气，朴实无华的电影，反转依然让我如鲠在喉
原来姐姐早就死了 我说怎么男孩长大了为啥姐姐还那么年轻貌美呢 到这样是不是有点人格分裂症……
C / 很一般 “奇迹”立意太高 结构有点偏混乱 叙事太散 也不是完全集中在"车站"的故事上 更像一个数学天才的传记电影
温情就完事。追求再多新技术和新类型都没有细腻的温情来的动人
为什么有尼克洞？？其实猫片一般都不大好看，这个倒是比一般猫片更多彩多姿一点…彼得猫的装饰画风格很漂亮，就是猫本身细看还是有点creepy，不大吃得消…
精致的画面，古怪的主角，可爱的小猫，组成了一部《路易斯·韦恩的猫奴人生》。私心来讲还是比较喜欢的，当然电影中的小猫对此功不可没，没想到还有喵配英字出现，实在很惊喜。头号猫奴韦恩不仅爱画猫，还改变了人们对于猫作为宠物的看法。在韦恩成名之前，他的朋友问他养猫是不是为了捉老鼠，韦恩说是为了当宠物。朋友表示很担心他，韦恩不解，朋友解释道：因为你拿猫作宠物啊！——正在抱着猫观看此片的我膝盖一痛，并感到吾等养猫人都应感谢这位前辈。
总结: 宛若油画般的画面 真的好看
感觉画面和某些特效有点拉低了片子的整体档次。
