Subscribe FreeJohn Wilmot (Depp), the second of Earl of Rochester, is a well-respected writer and notorious ladies' (and sometimes man's) man in 17th Century Europe, but his freewheeling ways soon land him in exile by the not-too-amused Charles II (Malkovich), and cast asunder, he finds solace in the bottle, all while his body succumbs to the ravages of syphilis. The Libertine is based on Stephen Jeffreys' original play. (Jack Kelley)
