Dorian Gray
Movie • 2009 • Drama
ReportA vain London playboy offers his soul in exchange for eternal beauty in this adaptation of the chilling tale by author Oscar Wilde. Seduced into the decadent world of Lord Henry Wotton (Colin Firth), handsome young aristocrat Dorian Gray (Ben Barnes) becomes obsessed with maintaining his youthful appearance, and commissions a special portrait that will weather the winds of time while he remains forever young. When Gray's obsession spirals out of control, his desperate attempts to safeguard his secret turn his once-privileged life into a living hell.

At around 14-15 mins in there is a scene with some kind of animal corpses, they are skinned and dissected so it’s hard to tell what they are

No, but some may be bothered about the way that Dorian presumably manipulated his first love into giving him her virginity--a big deal in the time period and something that can ruin a reputation.

Debatably, some of the BDSM stuff could be said to be self-harm in a masochistic way.

Dorian realizes he won't be young and beautiful forever and this causes him distresa. So it's like body dysmorphia about what he will look like.

**SPOILER** Dorian stays in the burning room with the painting when he had the key to let himself out. It's framed more in a self-sacrifice way than more of a suicide.

Yes, initially with some of Dorian's sexual partners. Tho, later he ends up being the elder in these situations due to not aging.

Dorian has sex with both a girl and her mother and with the mother while the daughter is under the bed, which may feel incestuous to some.
