Swanky London locations dripping with period excess.

Wildean dandyism meets 1970s psychedelic excess.
Director
Massimo Dallamano
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Massimo Dallamano was cinematographer on A Fistful of Dollars before directing; his visual eye for decay is unmatched.
This adaptation leans hard into the sexual liberation Wilde could only imply—70s exploitation as queer subtext made text.
