Wilde (1997)
Country: GB/US/JAP/GER
Technical: col/scope 117m
Director: Brian Gilbert
Cast: Stephen Fry, Jude Law, Tom Wilkinson, Jennifer Ehle
Synopsis:
Oscar Wilde, respectable family man, and popular public figure among the upper reaches of society for whom his successful plays were produced, embarks on a dangerously passionate affair with the son of a Marquess.
Review:
Likely to remain its star's crowning moment in film performance, this is an impeccably mounted affair which captures many of the author's bons mots in a manner Fry is uniquely equipped to bring off, but which advances on previous versions of an already familiar scenario merely by including some rather embarrassing love scenes.
