Rupert Everett's discusses making his own Oscar Wilde film

Rupert Everett has revealed why creating his own Oscar Wilde film has been one of his most rewarding achievements.

Rupert describes the film, which covers the last month of Oscar Wilde’s life, as ‘a 19th-century road movie’ given that the action takes place in Germany, Belgium, France and Italy.

Set in a hotel room and told through flashback, Rupert’s dying Oscar tries to make sense of the life he’s lived and those he’s loved.
