About Dorian Gray in the Mirror of the Yellow Press
The final installment in Ulrike Ottinger’s Berlin Trilogy (following TICKET OF NO RETURN and FREAK ORLANDO) casts Delphine Seyrig as the nefarious Fritz Lang supervillain Dr. Mabuse, here the head of a powerful media empire that seeks to create headlines by manufacturing (and then publicly destroying) its own celebrity: the wealthy, handsome playboy Dorian Gray.
Directed by Ulrike Ottinger, Dorian Gray in the Mirror of the Yellow Press leans on a strong ensemble — Veruschka von Lehndorff, Delphine Seyrig, Tabea Blumenschein — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about drama titles of 1984.
