Plot: A corrupt young man somehow keeps his youthful beauty eternally, but a special painting gradually reveals his inner ugliness to all.
Genre: Drama-Thriller
Director: Oliver Parker
Actors: Ben Barnes, Colin Firth, Ben Chaplin
My Review: Very good. Let's see... stars Colin Firth (✓), Ben Barnes (✓), Ben Chaplin (✓), and based on Oscar Wilde's novel (✓) - what more could I have asked for? Part disturbing and part creepy at times, this film let's you escape for a moment and realize that you shouldn't let yourself be a pushover or be a follower for approval (hint hint, Dorian Gray). Oh yeah, more importantly, you shouldn't sell your soul to the devil either.
