Select two cult films to compare side by side.
Dope Synopsis
A man returns from South America to Germany and finds his sister has developed a cocaine habit. The drug is having adverse effects on her health, but he has to outsmart the drug pushers supplying her with the stuff before he finally manages to have her admitted to a sanatorium for treatment. A romance also blossoms along the way.
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.
"Dope" holds a slight edge in general audience appreciation, but "A Sister to Salome" offers its own unique cult appeal.
