Sinopsis(1)
Dorian Gray es la última adaptación llevada a la gran pantalla de la magna obra de Oscar Wilde. Dorian Gray (Ben Barnes) es un atractivo aristócrata que regresa a su Londres natal tras pasar la adolescencia aislado en el campo. Abrumado por la vida nocturna londinense, Dorian se sumerge en ella de la mano de Lord Henry Wottom (Colin Firth), quien le muestra los lugares más recónditos y peculiares de la capital inglesa. Dorian pronto comienza a obsesionarse con alcanzar la eterna juventud. Un retrato suyo pintado por Basil Hallward (Ben Chaplin) se convertirá en un recordatorio palpable de sus graves faltas con el paso del tiempo. A diferencia del resto de los mortales, el apuesto Dorian permanece impasible al sucederse los años y es el retrato en cambio, el que envejece y asume su degradación física y moral.

The book is better of course, but considering my worries about the movie I was very pleasantly surprised. Barnes delivers a more than solid performance (who would have said?) and the same applies for Firth. The atmosphere resembles a horror movie more than Wilde’s painting, but that isn’t such a shame. At places the movie was really chilling. The special effects aren’t so great, but it’s an all British production, so I’ll give them some points for effort.

I thought this film would be pompous, that it would try to be too modern, but it turned out to be the adaptation of The Picture of Dorian Gray I imagined. It has power, the darkness of lust and the human soul, and it's all presented by well-chosen actors. It’s a great story about how far it is possible to go and still never reach fulfilment.
