"Een jongeman behoudt zijn stralend jeugdige uiterlijk, terwijl zijn geschilderde portret zijn toenemende innerlijke aftakeling onthult."
"Dorian Grey è un bellissimo giovane dell'alta società inglese, ammirato e desiderato dalle donne di tutte le età. In realtà, Dorian è vittima di un orribile maleficio: mentre lui resta eternamente giovane e affascinante, il suo ritratto invecchia e si deturpa."@it
"Nella Londra Vittoriana arriva Dorian Gray, un giovane uomo di straordinaria bellezza e nobiltà. Sensibile e impressionabile, Dorian viene molto presto coinvolto e trascinato nel vortice della mondanità dal carismatico Lord Wotton, incallito fedifrago sposato a Lady Victoria. Colpito dal suo bel sembiante, il pittore Basil Hallward lo cattura nei colori e sulla tela. Il giorno dell'inaugurazione del ritratto, Dorian pronuncia un giuramento e il desiderio di restare giovane per sempre. Conteso dall'interesse di Lord Wotton e dall'amore di Hallward, Dorian dissipa la sua eterna e giovane vita tra bordelli e teatri, libertinaggio sfrenato e promesse di matrimonio, prostitute consumate e spose ripudiate, senza che il suo volto patisca il segno del vizio. A sfigurarsi e a insozzarsi è la sua anima, incorniciata e fissata sulle pareti di una casa troppo grande. Spaventato dal deperimento del ritratto, Dorian lo ripone in soffitta, lontano dallo sguardo dei gentiluomini e delle nobildonne che affollano insaziabili."
"Having just arrived in London, Dorian Gray is keen to experience the seedy pleasures the city has to offer. However, concerned about the effects a life of hedonism might have upon his youthful looks, he enlists a painter to capture his likeness on canvas, wishing that the portrait suffer the ravages of time, while he remains eternally young. Such is his vanity that Dorian is willing to sacrifice his very soul in order to pervert the course of nature. An orgy of sin and debauchery ensues, led by the nefarious Lord Henry Wotton (Colin Firth), in whom Dorian naively places all his trust. When true love enters the frame, Dorian struggles to hide the secret behind his eternal youth and is forced to look deep within himself, beyond the shimmering surface, to re-discover his own humanity."@en

""Fresh-faced and innocent, Dorian Gray arrives in London to move into the house he has inherited. Almost immediately he falls under the influence of amoral and calculating Lord Henry Wotton, leading to a life of increasing debauchery and even violence. Through many years Gray stays as young-looking as ever, while a portrait painted when he arrived grows old, reflecting his increasing excesses. Eventually the picture, now secreted in his attic, becomes almost hideous to behold. When true love finally enters his life he realises he must guard his secret at all costs"--Distributor website."
