This is Rupert Everett's writing and directing debut. Everett tried to get his passion project made for ten years, rejecting other movie roles so he would be available if it was green-lit.
Director Rupert Everett had written promises from his friends Colin Firth and Emily Watson that they would participate in this movie if he ever got it made, and he would often half-jokingly remind them when he saw them. Even when Firth became famous and his busy schedule made it unsure if he would be able to keep his promise, Everett got funders aboard and people to participate by stating that Firth had already signed on. Near the end of production, when the movie ran out of budget, Firth even agreed to waive his salary, so he basically did the movie for free.
When Oscar Wilde gets his hair cut shortly after arriving in Reading Gaol, Rupert Everett gets his actual hair cut until he's bald. This was done on one of the first days of shooting and Everett wore a wig for the rest of the movie.
The interiors of Oscar Wilde's home in Italy were shot in Castle Thurnau in Bavaria, Germany.
This movie gained several five-star reviews in England, with plaudits such as "A masterpiece", "A magnificent achievement", and "A powerful parable of passion and redemption"; but the movie was ignored by some major distributors, being shown instead in smaller art-house venues.
"Reggie Turner: [Holding up a framed picture of Queen Victoria] No exiled fairy's trousseau is complete without a signed portrait of the great widow herself. You must dance naked before it at the Jubilee next month."
"Oscar Wilde: The natural habitat of the hypocrite is England. Go back there, leave me in peace! Go!"
