A film reminding the generosity of novel inspiring it, against obvious use of the book only as pretext for a story in which the physical beauty of Ethan Erickson ( an ordinary one , for my poor taste ) and the try to use same recipe of ambiguous evil character by Malcolm McDowell, more devil than Harry . Sure, modelling world, photo and not picture ( a not so bad idea and the last moments of Dorian life are just nice crafted ), same moral and ironic final,not the most inspired dialogue but a real good job of Christoph Waltz.
A modest film but not exactly a real dissapointment , nice try to use, in a sort of MTV style game, pieces of a classic masterpiece .
Confuse, chaotic, unrealistic situations and not brilliant acted but a version, reminding more 1970 one, unfortunatelly as the worst one , adaptation.
So, not so fair to be very critic about this new Dorian, but only accept its modest purpose and to hope, in idealistic manner, to be a sort of kick to discover the book inspiring it for the audience.
