Spoiler-Free Synopsis
Read MoreCollapse
Oliver Parker's film, based on Oscar Wilde's play, stars Rupert Everett as Lord Arthur Goring, according to his friends "the idlest man in London", who is only aroused from his torpor by Mabel Chiltern. Meanwhile, Mabel's father, Sir Robert Chiltern, is being blackmailed by Mrs Laura Cheveley to change his opinion on a bill going through Parliament. As betrayal, mistaken identities and romance abound, the delight comes from Wilde's bon mots and a top class supporting cast in a classic comedy of manners.
