Salome

Year: 1971

Runtime: 81 mins

Language: German

Director: Werner Schroeter

Drama

Schroeter’s lush adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s “Salome” unfolds on the monumental stone steps of Baalbeck, the ancient Roman temple in Lebanon. The film weaves Lebanese and German folk songs with operatic excerpts by Verdi, Wagner, Strauss, Mozart, Bellini and Donizetti, creating a dense visual‑aural collage. Costume design by cinematographer Elfi Mikesch adds sumptuous detail, while contemporary Le Monde critics praised the work for dramatizing the “deadly struggle between dark Christian morality and luminous paganism.”
