In a cheap Parisian hotel room Oscar Wilde lies on his death bed and the past floods back, transporting him to other times and places. Was he once the most famous man in London? The artist crucified by a society that once worshipped him? The lover imprisoned and freed, yet still running towards ruin in the final chapter of his life? Under the microscope of death he reviews the failed attempt to reconcile with his long suffering wife Constance, the ensuing reprisal of his fatal love affair with Lord Alfred Douglas and the warmth and devotion of Robbie Ross who tried and failed to save him from himself. From Dieppe to Naples to Paris freedom is elusive and Oscar is a penniless vagabond, always moving on, shunned by his old acquaintance, but revered by a strange group of outlaws and urchins to whom he tells the old stories - his incomparable wit still sharp. THE HAPPY PRINCE is a portrait of the dark side of a genius who lived and died for love in the last days of the nineteenth century.

The Happy Prince
This movie directed and starring Rupert Everett is a movingly satisfying portrayal of Oscar Wilde's last few years after his release from prison. We have seen other movies on Wilde's life but after years of struggle trying to finance his dream project Rupert has made a heartbreaking and brilliant film on Oscar's final years including the horrible indignities Oscar was made to suffer. Great performances all round make this movie one to treasure for all time.
