Taking center stage during its cinematic debut, “Wilde Salome” was one of the featured films at the 68th annual Venice Film Festival on Sunday evening (September 4).

Legendary actor Al Pacino was accompanied to his movie's premiere by new lady Lucila Sola, with the picture's leading lady Jessica Chastain also on-hand at the Palazzo del Cinema venue.

Along with premiering his latest project, Pacino was brought onstage prior to showtime to be presented an award as part of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Glory To The Filmmaker Award Ceremony.

Having written,directed and starred in the cinematic offering, the 71-year-old's "Wilde Salome" takes viewers on a journey as "Al unravels and re-interprets Oscar Wilde's once banned and most controversial work Salome, a scintillating tale of lust, greed and one woman's scorn."
