The Happy Prince
WED 26 DEC
Coming Soon to
Deluxe Cinemas
In a cheap Parisian hotel room, Oscar Wilde lies on his deathbed. 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.
WHAT CRITICS ARE SAYING

''A revelation! Rupert Everett's film is an absolute marvel!''- The Hollywood News
'' Everett delivers a towering and persuasive performance in a mostly sombre and sorrowful film and, as director, does a fine job of capturing the period detail.''- Toronto Star
