A visually striking, sensual silent film that renders the biblical fall of Sodom as a descent into hedonistic excess culminating in divine judgment and apocalyptic destruction.

Lot in Sodom is a sensual depiction of the Sodom and Gomorrah story filled with sinewy and semi-clad bodies, delirious bacchanals devoted to physical pleasure, and a searing, cataclysmic finale depicting the fall of a city devoted to sins of the flesh.
