The Biblical story of Salome, a girl who agrees to perform the "dance of the seven veils" in return for John the Baptist's head on a silver platter.
I could not believe that there was only one review of this great film. It was released on DVD together with the documentary 'Wilde Salomé'. A great double package explaining the background, the journey and the making of to good effect. I watched Wilde Salomé first, which I think helped before seeing the 'main course'.
The overall effect was deeply moving - covering the whole range of emotions. I can't say too much more without it being a spoiler.
Some will struggle with the theatrical presentation and modern clothes. However don't let that put you off as the acting and the message are top notch.
It still moves me months later - the sign of a good film.
Highly recommended - when you are in the mood.
