Wonderful imagery if inaccurate attribution
Havan_IronOak24 February 2004
This short film provides homoerotic and otherwise striking images for each word in Oscar Wilde's famous quote.

Well worth the 11 minutes to see it if you are of the same bent as Oscar and me.

I've never seen this particular short at any gay film festival and never in any collection of shorts so I hope that the Channel 4 site keeps this clip available on-line for a long time.

For those perfectionists amongst us though, the quote being used is from statements made during Oscar Wilde's first trial. The Ballad of Reading Gaol is wonderful reading as well, it's just not this.
