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.
