![]() Now one has to talk about "The Picture of Dorian Gray", but I'll just mention two versions because the others weren't too good in conveying theme and/or plot in my opinion: I'll also mention "Salome's Last Dance" (1988) because it adds and exaggerates a layer of queerness (somewhat comparable to "The Rocky Horror Picture Show" also in visual terms and performance) and interweaves the actual story line with an episode from Oscar Wilde's life, which is really more fictional (one could say "losely based on true events"), but has a great effect in my opinion. and has an interesting documentary of the process and background information on top. The 1922 adaptation is probably the most well known and used the original illustrations by Aubrey Beardsley as inspiration for the design.Īl Pacino's version from 2013 is closest to my envisioning of the play/characters/etc. Personally I think all the Salomé adaptations I've seen are pretty good. I can mostly speak to the latter although "The Picture of Dorian Gray" incorporates both sides rather equally. I would say there are two sides to Oscar Wilde, though they definitely interweave: the "witty conversational genius" and the "tragic philosophical side".
