Today
I recommend watching The
Importance of Being Earnest here, the 2002 British-American romantic comedy-drama film based on Oscar Wilde's
classic comedy of manners play of
the same name.
This
play is
funny all the time, actually there is nothing earnest about it, at least on the
surface! It is a satire of the Victorian era, when a complicated code
of behaviour governed everything from communication to sexuality. Regarded by many as Oscar Wilde’s masterpiece, it offers a brilliant commentary on class, money, marriage and
morals.
