We propose that the flight review of this film, seen last night in the room and then fresh memory.
's start by saying that history is not entirely related to the original: crippled characters, invented scenes and re-written ad hoc. There is nothing to do with the strength and power of Wilde's novel and the actors certainly do not enhance the intensity. Barnes appears to be on set for some strange and fortuitous coincidence, and not only that it will also be nice, but similarity with the young Dandy original there is no evidence, either at a physical, nor quell'impressionante seductive charm that the original fetish emanated from every pore.
Note color, in my humble opinion, is the presence of Colin Firth who shows us to be able to play roles more often than in those easy-going manner in which he has used throughout his career.
Thumbs down for the screenplay and film editing: the bad even worse than before and (if possible) the second. I understand the need to adapt a novel to a whole movie of just under two hours, and consequently many cut scenes and adapt others, however, if they had lost less time distorting original characters and situations, and maybe just maybe they would have received a product no longer valid.
For mounting, however, there is no hope zoom abnormal as we have not seen for years, and stop cuts that recall a more than a Hitchcock Godard, given the lack of continuity to link the scenes in some parts of films, too well.
The film also was shot almost always the same three or four places, becoming repetitive after a few minutes of projection.
The film does not come out too bad after all. The photograph has a strong impact and the story itself, you know, always has a huge appeal, especially at a time, like ours, where you can live Dandy is the unconscious desire of each of us.
short, not boring just because we love the original and can appreciate the nuances decadent horror that guide us to purulent portrait rotting in the attic, to un'epilogo we know by heart.
For the rest, it's just another sad (and dismal) attempt to make money brought back a character and a story known, adding unbridled sex, blood and transgression: in short, that to which we are now been used by Hollywood this field exhumations.
