Since when!? Did you read the book... at all!? Wow. Just Wow. Your ignorance is astounding.
Oscar Wilde (author of The Picture of Dorian Gray) was a homosexual/bisexual (it's debatable) living in the
Victorian era. In fact his earliest version of the novel had a lot more homosexual content than the 1891 version (the version in print today). He edited it down for fear of being found out...

It comes to DVD in the UK in January. I know most DVD players in the US can't play foreign discs but there are programs that can bypass your computer's

I'm in the US so there's no theatrical version here. I have been very eager to see this version of
Dorian Gray but so far there's no means. No DVD, no online AVI, nothing.

It is a morality play but I don't think it has anything to do with who you sleep with.
Dorian was beautiful on the outside but his soul was ugly and in the end physical beauty means nothing if you let yourself become ugly on the inside. The painting reflected his soul and Dorian had surrendered better, more humane aspects of his nature for selfishness and hedonism.

The fact that you think homosexuality is a 'moral' issue is disgusting and archaically ignorant.
Rather than patronize your ignorance and homophobia I'll just quote
Oscar Wilde himself from the NOVEL this film is based on.
'There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written. That is all.' - Oscar Wilde about The Picture of Dorian Gray novel, ...

The US doesn't have it either. Fortunately I have a
region free DVD player and was able to order it from the UK. I guess I'll have to wait until January.

I saw it today but it was only playing at very few
cinemas (I'm in Adelaide), which is surprising, I thought it was a pretty major release?

No. I'm going to end up having to order the UK DVD. Fortunately for me my player is region free.
