I agree that this film isn't historically accurate. But I think it stays true to Wilde's original intention. Getting hung up on costume and historical accuracy misses the entire point--making fun of our social conventions. Just as with a modernized version of Shakespeare, I think that this version works because it appeals to a modern audience. It looks great and the acting is spot-on. It definitely improves the more times you watch it.
