Salome (1973)
7/10
A poetic, dark and nightmarish reinterpretation of a biblical story and a peculiar start for Clive Barker in the cinema
14 March 2023
It is not surprising that Clive Barker decided to start using a biblical story, since Clive confessed in his own words that the stories of the bible were another great inspiration for his works. What we have here is a narrative about Salome and the death of John the Baptist with a terrifying and Baker-like tone. This short film is a visual experience, which only uses images and body language to tell the story. It might be hard to understand because of how surreal it gets, but a strange experiment with an artistic edge that only Clive Barker fans can admire. My rating for this short film is 7/10.
