Pact with the Devil, known in Canada as Dorian, is a 2004 Canadian-British drama film directed by Allan A. Goldstein and starring Ethan Erickson, Malcolm McDowell and Christoph Waltz.
In June 1980, Henry was managing Bea Conick (Nitsch), a beautiful blonde German photographer who quickly became a rising star under his guidance.
Henry then tells him the narrative of Dorian Gray from the Oscar Wilde novel, who made a wish- a pact with the Devil- that the beautiful portrait painted of him would age instead of the character, leaving him young and attractive forever.
As Dorian becomes more and more infatuated with the pleasures and wealth of being a star, his girlfriend Sybil (Sloan), a theater actress whom he is very close to and thinking of marrying, becomes distant from him.
While Dorian is initially grieving the death of his first love, he quickly tosses it aside and transforms into a work of art for photographers worldwide for years to come.
He succumbs to sex and drugs and all the while notices how his portrait is taking the toll for his age and the physical effects of his rough life, realizing the story of the original Dorian was true and the same thing has happened to him.
As Louis begins working with Bae again on an upcoming novel published by Diana Baxter (David) about the life of Louis- or Dorian- they form a bond.
In the midst of his fame and fortune, Dorian meets a married European couple, Mariella and Rolf Steiner (Sanchez and Waltz) and travels to Europe with them, taking his portrait with him.
Going on the run, Dorian travels around the world, indulging in every vice and sin imaginable (even being involved in a sex scandal in Bangkok, though the charges were never laid against him).
When Bae comes and visits him on New Year's Eve, a now insane Dorian attacks her and shows her the portrait, causing a panicked Bea to accidentally reveal that she also knew who Henry was and had made a pact with him in which she would stay famous forever with her photography.
Upon finishing his tale to Detective Giatti, the officer then looks at the crime scene photos and Dorian's fixed and perfect portrait and sees that the people in them are truly the same despite the vast differences in appearance, shocking him.
