In Rupert Everett ‘The Happy Prince’, the precise atmosphere of the times and the precise Oscar Wilde’s spiritual mood are precisely and scrupulously recreated.
The dialogue between Love and Death, a quite powerful reading key for the entire Victorian Age, seems a useful silver thread of the Irish novelist’s final season, and Everett managed to
effectively represent the clouds and the demons that came to blight Wilde’s existence after the legal troubles, among different kinds of love and different kinds of fragility.
