Forever young. Forever cursed. Based on the acclaimed novel by Oscar Wilde. Upon arriving in London, the young and powerful Dorian Gray (Ben Barnes) becomes drawn into a world of debauchery and decadence by Lord Henry Wotton (Colin Firth). Desperate to preserve the beauty captured in his exquisite portrait, Dorian trades his soul for eternal youth - leading him down a path of wickedness and murder in order to protect his horrifying secret.

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.
