The Libertine (R)

Quicklook Rating

synopsis

The film follows the second Earl of Rochester's adventures in London, from his passionate romance with a young actress, Elizabeth Barry, to the writing of a scurrilous play which blisteringly and bawdily lampoons the very monarch who commissioned it, Charles II, leading to the Earl's banishment and eventual downfall.

MovieGoer Review

This murky-looking misfire about noted 17th century sensualist/poet John Wilmot is the anti-Merchant-Ivory. It could also quite possibly be the worst film Johnny Depp has ever made.
