Author Topic: The Libertine (2005) Steve Scott Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1300 From: Minneapolis, MN Registered: Sep 2000 posted 03-12-2006 06:42 PM                     I like Johnny Depp's odd films each year or so because they're ripe with a really bad movie flair that only actors with other secure studio parts can come out & release, even months late thanks to the Weinsteins. I thought the Libertine was a raunchy poetic milepost to late 17th century England that built Caligula-like flair up to its transforming, everything's full circle ending. Plenty of dress-up fun for Depp and his underexposed leading ladies as Malkovich phones in a stint as King Edward II. It will probably go as unregarded and cult as Quills has in the sexual period cinema. Big stadium screens with underlit 2k bulbs are not good places for washed out, muddy scenes in candlelit films.  |  IP: Logged
