The line between fantasy and reality blurs when an actress begins behaving like the 19th-century murderer she is playing.

The Picture of Dorian Gray" 是一个关于自负的经典故事，由英国作家奥斯卡·王尔德创作，是极少数唯美主义小说之一。天生漂亮异常的道林格雷因见了画家霍华德给他画的真人一样大的肖像，发现了自己惊人的美，又听信了亨利爵士的吹嘘，开始为自己韶华易逝，美貌难久感到痛苦，表示希望那幅肖像能代替自己承担岁月和心灵的负担，而让自己永远保持青春貌美。他的这个想入非非的愿望后来却莫名其妙的实现了。他开始挥霍自己的罪恶，最后这幅肖像却成为了记录恶行的证据，他因肖像而生也因肖像而死。

In 1970s Britain, 18-year old Dean feels hampered by his working-class background and his family. In order to make something of himself, he assumes another identity and manages to enter high society. Uses a unique projection technique that displays three side-by-side frames of nearly simultaneous action, giving the impression of simultaneous events, rather than a multi-camera recording. This innovative "three-camera" or triple-image effect was an "almost innovation" for the time, offering a novel cinematic experience alongside the film's compelling story and strong direction.
