Salomé & Wilde Salomé + Live Satellite Al Pacino Q&A
GFT
Sunday 21 September 3.40 p.m.
Salomé is Oscar Wilde’s most controversial work, banned in London in the late 19th Century. This scintillating tale of lust, greed and revenge follows the legend of King Herod and his lust for his young stepdaughter, Salomé, and her sexual baiting of John the Baptist.
A fascinating double feature; Salomé, a filmed version of Oscar Wilde’s play and Wilde Salomé, a documentary that captures the enormous challenges Pacino faced in performing in the play while simultaneously directing these two features. Wilde Salomé follows his journey to Europe to understand more about one of the literary geniuses of the 20th century, Oscar Wilde, and is unlike any other documentary. It is a profound vision that explores religion, literature, politics, violence and sexuality from one of the world’s greatest artists.
Following the presentation of both films, Stephen Fry will host a live satellite Q&A session with Al Pacino, broadcast from BFI Southbank.
