Curiosidades
A famous line from The Importance of Being Earnest, also written by Oscar Wilde, is incorporated in the script, and spoken by Lord Henry Wotton: "The only way to behave to a woman is to make love to her if she is pretty, and to someone else if she is plain." In the play, which premiered several years after the publication of the novel this film is based on, the line is spoken by Algernon.

Pifias
When Dorian is fighting Jim in the train station tunnel, the sleepers and spikes are visible. The spikes seen were not in use in 1890 when the novel was written, nor the era when the film is set.

Citas
Lord Henry Wotton: There's no shame in pleasure. Man just wants to be happy. But society wants him to be good. And when he's good, he's rarely happy. But when he's happy, he's always good.

Créditos adicionales
At the start of the closing credits, they fade in and out, alternating with images of the Portrait peeking through, as though it is trying to assert itself.

Versiones alternativas
During post-production, the film was tailored for a '15' certificate in the UK. According to the BBFC, the filmmaker cuts were as follows:
A scene in which a tea party is inter-cut with shots showing Dorian's sadomasochistic excesses was toned down to remove or reduce the more explicit moments (explicit sight of a fingernail being pulled off, explicit sight of a chest being cut with a razor in a sexual context, explicit sight of blood being sucked from a woman's breasts and sight of a restrained man being beaten).
Additionally, a murder scene was toned down to remove the sense of dwelling on the infliction of pain and injury (reduction in the number of stabbings, removal of a blood spurt from man's neck, reduction in sight of victim choking on his blood).
The subsequent version was then formally passed '15' by the BBFC without cuts, and released on DVD and Blu-ray.

Watchable adaptation with good cast

Very good adaption with a nicely chosen cast with some fresh and familiar faces. Thought provoking about pleasure vs happiness like the themes of the namesake book it's based on. The main character's looks is important to the film and the actor delivers his change from innocence to experience to corruption pretty well.

A bit too long in the last arc. Not entirely sure about the final scene or it's contribution to the film-so the man responsible for corrupting Dorian revenges on him for bedding his daughter. Does he do any self reflection at all for his own suggestions and encouragement that led Dorian down this path? It seems to me like the film is missing this angle of development. This is an example of a missing layer of thematic complexity that prevents me from giving a higher score.

I don't recall the book that much but there might be a few innovations in this film such as the same sex scenes (since the author Oscar Wilde I believe was homosexual) and the motivation of Dorian to change and to compel him to his final act.
