The Happy Prince is a film written and directed by as well as starring Rupert Everett. It's about Oscar Wilde and his life in Europe after prison.
It's beautiful. Sumptuously shot and employing all the cinematic techniques going it's quite simply masterful. It shows Oscar with all his faults but concentrates on his self destructive personality that did not only for him but almost everyone who got close to him.
Sufficiently homo erotic and featuring the absolutely gorgeous French actor Benjamin Voisin as his part time rent boy there's plenty of eye candy.
Some nice humour too. I loved the scene where the mother of one of his cavorting boys barges in. I won't give it away.
Highly recommended.
