Wilde Summary
MPAA Rating: R
Director: Brian Gilbert
Genres: Drama
Rating:
Literary genius, legendary wit, bon vivant, and gay martyr, Oscar Wilde was a man whose legend has grown to iconic proportions since his death at the beginning of the 20th century. Establishing Wilde (Stephen_Fry) as a loving family man, complete with a wife (Jennifer_Ehle) and two adorable sons, the film takes pains to portray him as a dignified genius who was as pained by what he considered his own sin -- his homosexuality -- as he was delighted by the sins of others. From his initial encounters with Robbie Ross (Michael_Sheen), his first male lover, through his tragic affair with the beautiful and bratty Alfred Lord Douglas (a perfectly cast Jude_Law), Wilde is seen as a conflicted fellow, warring with his own urges even as he dazzles everyone around him. Rebecca Flint Marx, Rovi
