Synopsis

The Libertine tells the true story of the Earl of Rochester (Johnny Depp), friend and confidant of King Charles II (John Malkovich), who delights in tweaking the noses of London’s royals with his merciless cynicism. His rebellious escapades and sexual liaisons inspire awe amongst men, until an affair with the beautiful young actress Lizzie (Samantha Morton) proves to be his undoing.
