Thank you RL – great post. Love this movie – beautiful production design & cinematography. There’s a lot of background to this flick and I won’t waste fellow RL devotees’ time or intelligence as there’s plenty to look up online. In short: The Picture of Dorian Grey – the man who stays young while his portrait grows old – is a novel by Oscar Wilde. The novel features a “Yellow Book” given to Grey. “The Yellow Book” was also a literary magazine contemporary with Wilde. The female Dorian Grey in this movie has been described as a female Dr Mabuse. Plenty of other Dorian Grey references in popular culture – many movies ranging from 1915 to 2023, and my favourite: his character in The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen comics.
The Dorian Gray book and this movie have NOTHING NOTHING in common.
Indeed, very little about this film is available online. Outside the super cryptic movie tag-line used as a plot description, references to the film using a female version of the Doctor Mabuse character as a villain, and the fact that Dorian Gray is played by a female actress in drag.
Watching the film, I strongly recommend a new plot description.
“A corrupt media baron who uses her media empire and a police surveillance system to control the public, creates a scandalous new celebrity named Dorian Gray to tantalize the public with his exploits. But Dorian doesn’t know that he is being set up for a fall, as his patron sets him up for a fall so that she can profit off of his fall from grace.”
