Film vs Film
Select two cult films to compare side by side.
Alma provinciana Synopsis
Depiction of stratified Colombia society fuses a melodramatic novel with documentary detail: A country landlord thwarts his daughter's love for their farm overseer and his college son's love for the daughter of a poor city cobbler.
A Sister to Salome Synopsis
When famous opera singer Elinore Duane undergoes an operation on her throat, she has a series of ether-induced visions. In one, she is transported to ancient Rome where she appears as a much-admired woman in love with Paul, a young heretic, and at odds with Lutor, the high priest. To save her love, she poisons Lutor with her ring. After several other visions which involve variations on this love triangle, Elinore awakens to discover that Lutor is actually her doctor, Sascha Jaccard, and that Paul is the son of a friend who has come to visit the recovering prima donna.
"Alma provinciana" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "A Sister to Salome" offers its own unique cult appeal.
