Ciro Galvani

In a city the arrival of Basiliola - the daughter of a pagan - brings ruin in the name of revenge for her father and his brothers. The target of this revenge are two brothers in power (Sergio is a Christian bishop, while Marco is a Roman tribune). The woman seduces both of them and pushes them to a battle.

Based on Oscar Wilde's version of the story, what is noteworthy is the sheer luxury of the production, an attempt to capture the wild and weird Aubrey Beardsley illustrations that transfigure the work. The sets are elaborate, with stonework and palm trees and draperies. There seem to be dozens of dress extras, courtiers at Salome's dance and soldiers. (imdb)
