The Image of Dorian Gray in the Yellow Press, 1984, is a demanding and highly ironic critique of mass media, with fashion model Veruschka cross-dressed as Oscar Wilde's unaging protagonist. Made by German arthouse director Ulrike Ottinger, this is a wide-ranging grabbag of influences, freely mixing the Dorian Gray story with the legend of Dr. Mabuse. In this telling, Dr. Mabuse is a sinister media baron played by Delphine Seyrig, who wants to manipulate Dorian Gray's public image to advance her own corporate agenda.
