The Happy Prince (2018)
Starring Rupert Everett as Oscar Wilde
and Colin Firth as Reggie Turner
Rupert Everett, who wrote and directed the film, also acts alongside a stellar, wish-list of a cast, including Colin Firth, Emily Watson, Tom Wilkinson and Anna Chancellor. Depicting the time after his release from Reading Gaol, it follows Oscar Wilde’s last days of exile to the continent where he is lost in bankruptcy, infamy and pain.
Everett has succeeded in making a beautiful and moving tribute to a contradictory, perplexing and maddening genius.

Stuck in a hole surrounded by mud and death, how will our boys cope with the ever-present danger of being shot or blown to smithereens?
“Cheer up chum. The first seven years are the worst!”
