Call Me Salomè(2005)

From Oscar Wilde's Masterpeice

Call Me Salomè is a crime drama that transposes the biblical tale of Salomè into modern Naples. Herod, a ruthless local boss who controls a notorious nightclub called The Last Emperor, rules alongside his brutal partner Herodias. Their stepdaughter Salomè is a beautiful young woman caught between the desires of powerful men, including Herod himself. A political prisoner named John, held captive by Herod's associates, descends into madness while studying sacred texts, eventually positioning himself as a prophet. As passion and manipulation intertwine among the characters, personal vendettas and tragic consequences unfold in the shadowy underworld of the city.
