FRIDAY JULY 31

How could a movie with Stephen Fry as Oscar Wilde be
anything but at the very least worth seeing and at most des-

tined to be a future gay classic. Oscar Wilde, whose life ,

was destroyed by merely admitting and defending his af-
fection for another man, continues to strike a chord among
any person persecuted for sexuality or gender identity.
Stephen Fry’s own openness about his sexuality continues
in a tradition of unwillingness among brilliant men to be si-
lenced or to live a lie. According toFiIm Journal Magazine,
“Fry inhabits Vlfilde past the flesh into the soul, exploring
every nuance of the man with heartbreaking honesty. He
convinces in the juxtaposition of self doubt and utter hu-
manity that allowed Wilde to pen some of literature’s most
lasting comic observations as he came to painful terms with
his homosexuality.” At the Savoy on Montpelier, from Fri-
day July 31st through Thursday August 6th, call for times.
