5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant playing of a rarely seen play, 12 Mar 2001

By	Jonathan Bryce (Waitakere NZ) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The premise is that Wilde (and friends) visit a brothel, where the staff put on his play of "Salome". That's the main body of this Russell film. The actress playing Salome herself (forgive me, I can't remember) plays it up to the hilt. Stratford Johns plays Herod, Glenda Jackson his wife.

The play-within-the-play is excellent, and makes you wish that Russell would turn to some more works of Wilde - it needs his style to capture the delicacy of some of the moments.

Highly recommended, in short. Don't be put off by the R18 - probably just from the Russellian portrayl of the Israelites. It's totally in keeping with Wilde and the show.

4.0 out of 5 stars Imogen Millais-Scott is incredible!, 23 Jul 2004

By	Monkey Magic "Mm!" (Kent, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Salome's Last Dance [DVD] [1988] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)

The name of the actress who plays Salome as mentioned in the other review is Imogen Millais-Scott and she plays her character beautifully - with sparkle, cheek and plenty of sauce. If you haven't seen it watch it now (although you may have some problems getting hold of it). It's a rare gem.

5.0 out of 5 stars Salome a la Russell, 2 Oct 2006

By	NB "NB" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Salome's Last Dance [DVD] [1988] [US Import] [NTSC] (DVD)

If you like Russell, you'll love this. Using the expedient of a performance in a brothel, Russell gives us an excellent interpretation of Wilde's play as watched by a fictional Wilde (Grace). This gives him rein to include the usual bizarre oddities we expect from this off-the-ball director; still, he keeps a firm hand on things for once and the result is tight, well-acted and intriguing.
