- Synopsis:
Ken Russell, the critically hailed director of such thrillers as 'Gothic', 'Altered States' and 'Crimes of Passion', reaches new heights of decadence with this off-beat tale starring Academy Award-winner Glenda Jackson. In a candle-lit Victorian brothel draped in black silk, Oscar Wilde sips champagne as beautiful young prostitutes enact his latest play, "Salome", banned from London because of its erotic depravity. The play unfolds into a lascivious story of unparalleled sensuality as Salome, the child temptress, performs her seductive Dance of the Seven Veils in exchange for the ruin of John the Baptist. As life begins to imitate art, 'Salome’s Last Dane' becomes a cryptic mirror of the eccentric life of its author. - Actors:
