Website is ailing, DVD still plays... No BluRay?

This is an outstanding film and other than "Total Eclipse", which presents an account of the romance between Paul Verlaine and Arthur Rimbaud, it is one of the few true stories explaining "The love that dare not speak its name", the love between an older man and younger man. In "Wilde", the older man is Stephen Fry as Oscar Wilde and the younger man is Jude Law as Lord Albert Douglas, and they do hit it off!

What today's gay crusaders don't understand is that men have always enjoyed the company of other men - they just didn't need to make it public. 100 years before young men believed it was OK to admit their sexuality, Oscar Wilde had already made the point.

It's time for a re-release (maybe with some archived special features?) on BluRay! Anything that brings attention to this remarkable and important film would be a benefit to the kids. Sad to see the website (www.oscarwilde.com) partially broken, with some graphics missing and no updates for over a decade!!

I totally agree! or perhaps it's even re-released on blu-ray by now? =)

Is English available? If not, perhaps for the 20th (!) anniversary next year.

UK Blu Ray is available. Outdated transfer but watchable.
