CGiii Comment
Wilde would be seething.
The acting is dismal - with particular reference to Christian Camargo.
The writing is a calamity, a collision of Wilde's words with Roy's fruitless freedom of a disabled expression.
Everything is wrong with this film - even down to the fake blond Gray.
Its offensiveness is too obtuse to behold, hopefully this will be the last nail in Roy's creative coffin.
An insult.

"The Picture of Dorian Gray" is the classic tale of vanity written by Oscar Wilde updated and adapted by Duncan Roy. Artist Basil Hallward has become obsessed with Dorian Gray whose beauty is the focus of a new portrait/installation. When the young Dorian sees the installation for the first time he resents the portrait wishing it would grow old and ugly instead of him.
