Synopsis:

From IMDb: “In a cheap Parisian hotel room Oscar Wilde lies on his death bed. The past floods back, taking him to other times and places. Was he once the most famous man in London? The artist crucified by a society that once worshipped him? Under the microscope of death he reviews the failed attempt to reconcile with his long suffering wife Constance, the ensuing reprisal of his fatal love affair with Lord Alfred Douglas and the warmth and devotion of Robbie Ross, who tried and failed to save him from himself. Travelling through Wilde’s final act and journeys through England, France and Italy, the transience of lust is laid bare and the true riches of love are revealed. It is a portrait of the dark side of a genius who lived and died for love.”

Review: (#1) Simple, modestly atmospheric, but inconsequential. (#2) A nice balance of color cannot make up for the regimented and blocky design. (#3) This too-bright piece is just a scene from the film, which doesn’t give it any urgency.

Trailer Rating: C+

Review: The life of Oscar Wilde seems like a fascinating subject for a film, but this trailer doesn’t make the film feel like it has sufficient merit. Seeing Rupert Everett finally getting a juicy role is excellent and the famous Wilde wit is present; however, it just doesn’t feel significant enough.

Oscar Prospects:

If the film does well at the box office or with critics, it could be an Oscar player for Rupert Everett, but I suspect it will be ignored.
