(2004) The Libertine
John Wilmot (Johnny Depp), the egotistical second Earl of
Rochester, leads an entirely debauched life. When not writing bawdy
verse, Wilmot spends his time imbibing massive amounts of alcohol and
bedding myriad women, including Elizabeth Barry (Samantha Morton). When
King Charles II (John Malkovich) commissions him to
write a play, he happily agrees. But after Wilmot foolishly uses his big
break to skewer the crown, he must face a furious Charles -- and the
real possibility of exile.
