I was thrilled when Rupert wrote to me asking if I would write the music for this beautiful project. He is, for me, a real artist and also very musical, so I knew it would be a wonderful collaboration.

We agreed that the score should balance between the extremes of Oscar Wilde’s story: irony, solitude and despair. I didn’t want to say “too much” so limited my orchestral line up to a small chamber ensemble and piano. All of the performances were hugely inspiring, especially Rupert’s as Oscar Wilde himself.

I very proud to have worked on this film.
