The Libertine (2004)
The second Earl of Rochester (John Wilmot) was infamous for his love of poetry, alcohol and sex. He is the King’s confidant and respected poet – that is when the King hasn’t exiled him from London.
Rochester is cynical and ruthless, but his power, his charisma and his reputation fascinate and attract both women and men.
At thirty-three years old, he died a painful death caused by syphilis and alcoholism only to earn posthumous critical acclaim for his life's work.
