Directed by and starring Rupert Everett, The Happy Prince sheds light on the tragic life of Oscar Wilde. Everett is an excellent actor. I sense this direction is just as good. I hope there are enough highs in the movie to appreciate the lows.
Everett also surrounds himself with a delightful and gifted cast, including Colin Firth, Emily Watson, Tom Wilkerson, and Colin Morgan.
The featurette focuses on the actor and directing himself surrounded by very talented people.
The two movie clips show the obvious ostracization Wilde underwent after his arrest for an indecent relationship with another man.
The movie trailer shows the lives Wilde influenced while he was alive. Yet, his signature and wit still rest in our culture.
