Movie Reviews

Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC) - 9/10 by Ken HankeOutlandish, oversized, campy, profane and, finally, strangely moving -- in a way that only a Ken Russell film can be.
The Spectator - 8/10 by Hilary MantelThe line between eccentricity and buffoonery has been crossed.
User Review - 10/10 by Rock YThis is easily the best version of Oscar Wilde's play out there, if only because it's a comedy. All other versions of Salome act as though the overly loquacious protestations of love and ridiculous tragedy are meant to be taken seriously and not tongue-in-cheek. Wilde wrote the play not as the supposed love poem that some "scholars" suggest, but instead as a parody of the melodrama popular at the time. Salome was the first camp classic and now Ken Russel allows us to experience as it was meant to be seen. Later Richard Strauss would turn Wilde's work into the odd sort of psychological drama of his opera. And if that's what you want to see buy a version of the opera, don't try to force the play to become it. Allow for the play to be what it is. Please Re-Release!
User Review - 10/10 by Nate CI love "meta" movies. This is a movie about a play being performed. Oscar Wilde's play "Salome" has just been banned in England, so his favorite brothel does a show of it to celebrate! Ken Russel directs.
User Review - 10/10 by Nikitos WLong chose from a chain of ingenious masterpieces of this hooligan, a little satirical, but infinitely serious director. Salome, a remarkable playwright Oscar Wilde got the best. The tragic story of love and death. That is not corporal never prevail over the spiritual, and if they take, the only way is through the destruction of themselves, and even then only dropped the skin.
User Review - 10/10 by Garrett TA definate hit in Ken Russell's very hit and miss anthology. The actress who plays Salome gives one of the finest performances that I still remember 20 years later.
User Review - 10/10 by Private UThis is one of my favorite films ever. One of Ken Russell's best.
User Review - 10/10 by Emilia Cinzia PFor me, one of the best movies about Oscar Wilde's masterpiece. Some details are brilliant. And the original lines are respected.
User Review - 10/10 by Steven RAnother gorgeous and wonderfully campy entry from that cinematic god named Ken Russell.
User Review - 8/10 by Jenna IGod I wish we could go back in time and have Ken Russell direct every play ever. Or at least revive this as an immersive theater play. As a Godless heathen I gotta admit I went into this a little blind as far as how I was 'meant' to feel about this story of Salome. I presume from Oscar Wilde's tears and the small bit of Biblical knowledge I possess that Salome is, for all intents and purposes, the 'bad' guy here. But I couldn't help but think - and I think Ken Russell is definitely here with me - that she comes across as more of the celebrated victor. I mean, starting off this play with three topless women dressed in Roman armor sodomizing a man in a cage with a large prosthetic penis... like, who could say that was 'evil'!?! For serious though, more than anything the movie struck me as a story of how men are undone by beauty. Herod is undone by Salome and her mother. The solider is undone by Salome. Oscar is undone by Bosie, then the golden boy (and then Bosie again). And John the Baptist is spiritually undone by his love of God - captured and tortured - and then physically undone by Salome. And it's that exact male failure and embarrassment with themselves that, in the play, leads to Salome's unnecessary punishment. Beautiful BEAUTIFUL set, great plot set up, fun play, insane costumes, amazing dance. And again a word about Russell's use of nudity... like boy, in any other movie I'd be side-eyeing so hard at the half naked women running around but in a Ken Russell flick he makes nudity not only equal opportunity (there's full frontal male nudity!) but also a power move. More natural, more classic, more power. JEAH boiiiiiiii!!!!!!!!
