Oscar® nominee Johnny Depp delivers "a tour de force performance" (Baz
Bamigboye, The Daily Mail) in The Libertine.
As the celebrated
writer and bad boy John Wilmot, second Earl of Rochester, Depp brings to life a
decadent 17th century London. There, Wilmot falls passionately in love with his
aspiring actress muse (Oscar® nominee Samantha Morton), but is cast from the
heights of privileged society when he scandalizes King Charles II (Oscar®
nominee John Malkovich) with a shockingly audacious play.
At the depths of ruin,
the rebel seeks redemption on his own terms. "Johnny Depp is brilliant," raves
Cosmopolitan, while Peter Travers of Rolling Stone calls The
Libertine a "one-of-a-kind spellbinder."
