名称：莎乐美 年代：1972 类型：剧情 语言：意大利语 国家：意大利 导演：Carmelo Bene 编剧：卡尔梅洛·贝内 演员：卡尔梅洛·贝内 / Lydia Mancinelli / Alfiero Vincenti / Donyale Luna / 范若施卡·冯·兰朵夫 / Piero Vida 剧情：There have been many films of the play "Salome", but none of them are anything like Carmelo Bene's version. The film is so bright, colorful and strange; it will make your head spin. The intro of the film contains a cartoon camel jumping through a loop, women getting spanked with feather paddles, a man slicing a watermelon with a machete and a women with beaded jewelry emerging from the water. Unfortunately, the only copy I could find didn't have subtitles. I really didn't need to understand the dialog to enjoy the strange and weird images. It's as if someone filmed Fellini Satyricon on a fixed budget, cut it into pieces, rearranged it and laced it with LSD style editing. That's why it is so darn entertaining. I first learned about Italian director Carmelo Bene from the book "Film as a Subversive Art" by Amos Vogel. This book changed the way I view films. I go out of my way to find surreal films like "Salome". It is strange, experimental and quite an experience. Don't watch this film on drugs, because the film is a drug in itself. A startling head trip of a film.
Title：Salomè Year：1972 Genre：Drama Language：Italian Country：Italy Director：Carmelo Bene Writer：Carmelo Bene / Oscar Wilde Actors：Carmelo Bene / Lydia Mancinelli / Alfiero Vincenti Plot：A psychedelic re-telling of the biblical story. Salome is the daughter of the second wife of King Herod. The King is infatuated with her and after she fails to seduce the prophet John (The Baptist) she dances for the King in order to ask for his execution. The story is told in a bizarre way of fast cuts, repetitive dialogue and extreme satire.
