| Summary, etc |
"Oliver Parker's 2002 film version of Oscar Wilde's beloved play, "The Importance of Being Earnest," is a charming and accurate representation of the play. The film, which is set in Victorian England, chronicles the comic adventures of two friends named Jack Worthing and Algernon Moncrieff. They take on the fake personas of Ernest and Bunbury in order to negotiate the difficulties of love and social expectations. The characters, Gwendolen and Cecily, become involved in a web of miscommunications and humorous events as they pursue their romantic interests. The film deftly conveys the wit and cynicism of Wilde, emphasizing the ridiculousness of societal norms and the quest of love. It also features a superb ensemble cast that endearingly and humorously brings the well-known characters to life." |
