Salome & Wilde Salome + Live Al Pacino Q&A Exclusive UK Premiere Report
  • 2 years ago
Salome: At a birthday feast for King Herod (Al Pacino), his stepdaughter princess Salome (Jessica Chastain) discovers the imprisoned John the Baptist and is immediately infatuated with him. Rebuffed by the prisoner, Salome entices her lecherous stepfather with the promise of completing the erotic Dance of the Seven Veils, if the King will grant her one wish. Following the dance, Salome demands the head of John the Baptist. Realising his attempt to change her mind is futile, Herod reluctantly orders the beheading and shortly thereafter orders the death of his stepdaughter.

Wilde Salome: In this unique documentary, director/star Al Pacino takes us on a personal journey as he unravels and re-interprets Oscar Wilde's once banned and most controversial work SALOME. Using a mix of documentary, fiction and improvisation, the viewer gets a rare look inside the mind of one our greatest (and most unique) actors.

Includes Q&A hosted by Stephen Fry.
