This drama
about the last years of author Oscar Wilde wandered a bit aimlessly and did not
really develop much tension. What could have been made into a captivating love
triangle turned out to be a rather lacklustre tableau of opaque relationships,
lukewarm and lacking in creative bravery.
The actors did good jobs with the material they were given, though, and particularly the costumes and sets were beautiful to look at. Still, I find it frustrating to watch the rich “suffer” thought “hardships” like not being able to afford a palace, a fine dinner or whores and having to rely on friends to settle their bills. That does not really endear any characters to me.
The stand-out moments of this film were certainly of a cinematographical nature, with some gorgeously composed shots of scenery and a few instances of flawlessly lit scenes.
3/5
