Johnny Depp portrays the 17th-century poet John Wilmot, aka the Earl of Rochester, in The Libertine. The poet was famous for his drinking and shocking immoral exploits which led to an early death at the age of 33. John Malkovich plays King Charles II, an intimate friend of Wilmot, while Samantha Morton plays an actress whom Wilmot falls in love with. Ironically, Wilmot earned posthumous critical acclaim for his life's work.
