The Libertine
2004, 114 minutes, Rated MA
Centuries before Jimi Hendrix, Lenny Bruce and John Belushi, there was the Earl of Rochester. He sounds like a modern day rock star. He lived on the edge, partied like there was no tomorrow and pushed the boundaries of art and wild behaviour to new extremes. Yet the Second Earl of Rochester aka John Wilmot, lived in 17th century England. In that time of absolute monarchy and strict social manners, he demonstrated an outrageousness that made him a legend, with an untamed lust for everything forbidden.
Two-time Academy Award nominee, Johnny Depp stars as the sexually explicit poet, John Wilmot, whose unconventional, scandalous lifestyle rocked the 17th century Court of King Charles II.
if you think the Royals of today lead naughty lives, it's time you met The Second Earl of Rochester.
