Genres & Description

Biography Drama

6.4 / 10

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.

if a movie is done in Hollywood it must be about white people going extinct or becoming gays. Movies about achievements of straight white men and christian culture are banned - @Tuesday, October 9, 2018 6:15 AM

To my shock and dismay this comments section is full of praise and adoration...!!? one idiot even spouting that this was the most beautiful movie ever made... lololol Oscar Wilde was a pedophile and it is all in his court records..... but you sick fucks want to lock up people like Bill Cosby and worship old men fucking teenage boys.... wow, what double standard motherfuckers.... read on - Parts of Oscar's case dealt with Wilde’s relationships with teenage boys. Most of those on Queensberry’s list were “renters”, prostitutes who Wilde paid for sex. Charles Parker, 17 when he met the 38-year-old Wilde in 1893, is typical: he alleged that on their first meeting Wilde took him to the Savoy, gave him iced champagne and took him to bed where he performed “certain operations with his mouth”. The next morning Wilde gave him money. Parker became a star witness in the criminal trial, and we now hear his voice again as he claims that Wilde “committed the act of sodomy upon me”...etc.. AND YOU THINK WILDE STOPPED THERE!!!???? I hope and old man fucks all your underage sons.... although I'm sure of few of you lying ass raping sickos cheering this shit on, wud probably join in. Fuck this boring sexually abusive bullshit movie glorifying a pedo hero. - @Monday, October 8, 2018 2:36 AM

Loved Colin and Rupert in this extraordinary film........ seen in three times, and it still affects me in a very sad way, but it is magnificent..... and oh...BOsie....... I could love him myself.... - @Thursday, September 20, 2018 11:18 AM

Saw Rupert in The Judas Kiss in Toronto not too long ago - he obviously loves being Oscar! Fab to see him and Colin Firth reunited in a film again. It takes me back to my teenage years, watching Another Country countless times...... - @Saturday, September 15, 2018 1:40 AM
