Synopsis

In a cheap Parisian hotel, Oscar Wilde lies on his deathbed and recalls his past with wit and irony.  Was he once the most famous man in London?  He reviews the failed attempt to reconcile with his long-suffering wife, the ensuing reprisal of his love affair with Lord Alfred Douglas and the devotion of Robbie Ross, who tried and failed to save him from himself.  From Dieppe to Naples to Paris, Oscar is a penniless vagabond, shunned by his old acquaintances, but still revered by a strange group of outlaws to whom he tells the old stories – his incomparable talent still sharp.

THE HAPPY PRINCE is written and directed by Rupert Everett. Produced by Sébastien Delloye, Philipp Kreuzer, and Jörg Schulze. The film stars Rupert Everett, Colin Firth, Colin Morgan, Edwin Thomas, Emily Watson and Tom Wilkinson.
