Wilde

“Loved for being unique. Hated for being different.”

Oscar Wilde (Stephen Fry) is a celebrated London playwright with a wife, two sons, and a private appetite for young men. Then he meets Lord Alfred "Bosie" Douglas (Jude Law), and a conversation at the theatre becomes a love affair that draws in Bosie's furious father, the Marquess of Queensberry. Brian Gilbert, working from Julian Mitchell's script, keeps the camera close on Fry's face and lets the wit curdle slowly.
