Movie Reviews of The Oscar Wilde Collection (The Importance of Being Earnest / The Picture of Dorian Gray / An Ideal Husband / Lady Windermere's Fan)
Movie Review: A Must Have For Anyone Who Teaches Wilde
Summary: 5 Stars
This BBC-produced version is a bit dry and stale for students used to MTV-style filming and pacing. However, each production is very true to the original works. The biography of Wilde is very valuable for helping students understand how his life influenced his work. The most enjoyable production of The Importance of Being Earnest is the newish one staring Colin Firth and Rupert Everett. It is based more on the original 4 act version of the play. It is delightful, but the director took a bit too much artistic license by putting in some "funnies" that were anachronistic. I recommend using both versions. This collection includes his most important works including The Picture of Dorian Grey.
