Al Pacino on Wilde Salome: Venice International Film Festival
There are about 28 movies made of Salome, Pacino took a decidedly modern approach to the telling of the story. He wanted to try something new and by interjecting Oscar Wilde’s life to see how far he could go, to find a balance between now and a hundred plus years ago. Wilde Salome tries to reveal this man Wilde, who was this very liberal thinker and visionary in terms of his feelings for people, during a very dangerous time in Victorian England.
“As soon as I started making my own films I started to understand it. Once I started I understood what the director needs. I did not leave the theatre. Orson wells did, he left the theater.” “I have made about 5 or 6 movies on my own that no one knows about and nobody will. I keep them hidden.”
“You don’t dabble in films you devote your life to it!”
