Time Out says Rate it

A rare screening of the classic 1923 silent movie 'Salomé', complete with a live score by Charlie Barber. Opulent, extravagant, decadent, 'Salomé' is a visual feast that brings together lavish art nouveau designs inspired by the artist Aubrey Beardsley with an unforgettable performance by tempestuous actress Alla Nazimova in the title role. Barber's score is equally dramatic - drawing on the evocative sounds and intricate rhythms of traditional Arabic ensembles. Performed by musicians playing from two towers flanking each side of the silver screen.
