The Libertine

with Johnny Depp & John Malkovich

R-rated WIDESCREEN Edition

An antidote to the sunny period pieces adopted from Jane Austen, which features aristocracy engage in the witty banter of drawing room dramas and culminate in a most delightful scenarios.

THE LIBERTINE highlights the underbelly of the Britocracy of centuries past. The plot follows the dastardly debauchery of the Earl of Rochester (a mischievous Johnny Depp). He is a hedonist who makes Oscar Wilde seem moralistic, the Earl spent his days and nights in beds, brothels, and bars, awakening from drunken blackouts only to stumble to the nearest whorehouse.

Yet this ravishing rake was also possessed of a predilection for poetry, and turned his escapades into acid-tongued witticisms that pepper this frisky film. This historical film picks up in 1678, when the Earl returns to London at the behest of King Charles II, magnetically played by John Malkovich, With his young wife in tow, J. Depp immediately immerses himself into a litany of transgressions.

Then he meets a prostitute and burgeoning actress, he obsessively takes her under his wing, crafting her into an acclaimed stage starlet and eventually bedding her. What follows is a spiral--upward, downward, and sideways--through the city's pleasure palaces, culminating in a quasi-tragic, quasi-relieving denouement. Melding the naughty energy of his PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN character with the brooding darkness of his wearied detective in FROM HELL, Depp gives a pitch-perfect performance that carries the film, eliciting strange sympathy for such a despicable devil. The music adds even further moodiness and dramatic edge to the story. J. Depp writes a play that mocks Charles II (John Malkovitch). The problem? The Restoration ruler was the one who commissioned the play, and now Wilmot's in hot water.
