 The Libertine Review :: Hollywood.com
The Libertine opens with a dimly lit monologue from the Earl, in which he boasts, “I am up for it, all the time.” Wilmot’s liaisons with men are merely hinted at, and the love scenes are disappointingly tame.
Libertine is a grungy biopic but is itself devoid of any appeal to the senses and shortchanges us on anything truly decadent other than John Wilmot’s binge drinking.
Despite Johnny Depp's zealous performance, muddled direction and murky cinematography hinder The Libertine.

 Libertine - BPAL Madness!
Libertine on me is a herbaceous rose/violet with the musk and sandalwood running underneath like a warm current to balance the slightly astringent nature of the chamomile and bergamot.
Libertine is no exception to this, the largest note to 'pop' is the rose-wood, after that the bergamot and other notes fade into a subtle background.
Libertine is good for those of us who like only shy, mellow, unassuming florals.

 Prindle Record Reviews - Crass
Eve Libertine and Joy de Vivre WERE an integral part of Crass.
Still, as appropriate as it was for them to allow the female vocalists (Joy de Vivre and Eve Libertine) an entire album of their own in which to explore the issues of sexual politics and gender discrimination, Penis Envy is still boring as hell.
This record makes me cover my gonads for fear of losing them to some unseen Eve entity that's about to come out of the speaker and castrate me. And I think that's exactly the reaction that Crass (or just Eve Libertine) was striving for.

 Eve Libertine
Crass' third album Penis Envy, featuring Eve throughout, remains a classic of the genre and at the time was seminal to the development of the radical feminist dialogue within the punk movement.
Eve's machine-gun delivery of uncomprimising feminist lyrics was central to the bands political stance.
Following ten years as Crass' lead female vocalist, it is not surprising that Eve Livertine was invited in 1990 to appear in her own right on the West Coast of America.

 Crass : Penis Envy - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
Libertine's delivery places her as one of punk and post-punk's most distinct vocalists; if her atypical approach to singing has parallels to everyone from Poly Styrene to Pauline Murray, she consciously avoids sugaring the pill as the album continues on its way.
Libertine takes the lead vocals throughout Crass' third album (the one exception being De Vivre's turn on the unnerving portrayal of hospitals and waiting for death, "Health Surface").
A powerful and challenging record, Penis Envy uses the brutal, cruel description of sexism and rape on the opening track, "Bata Motel," as a launching point for a comprehensive rip through societal control and repression throughout.

 Amazon.com: Libertine: Music: Silkworm
Libertine continues down the same path the band blazed on In the West, but the songwriting is a notch sharper and the recording is even closer to the sound of a live concert, where the real magic happens.
The vocals--reflecting three distinct yet similar voices--and lyrics establish the definite focal point of Libertine, spoken and sung with varying degrees of seriousness but never lacking passion, no matter how casual the delivery.
The guitars then fill in the remaining space (and there is a lot) with melodic phrases that often seem bent and jagged, and occasionally sound rambling, but are always relevant to the song.

 Amazon.com: movie info: The Libertine
THE LIBERTINE is a dark film that the studio wisely decided to release only after the Christmas holiday season.
Still, The Libertine has lurid Saturnalian visions, Morton is superb, Malkovich gives a typically insidious turn, and Depp, as always, finds moments of sad poetry in the bitterest of speeches.
If you go into THE LIBERTINE envisioning Johnny Depp in his previous role as Captain Jack Sparrow or Willy Wonka, forget it.

 The Libertine (2005)
Steeped in the fog and grime of the period, The Libertine is a briskly paced and comparatively naturalistic historical drama that never descends into the stodgy theatrics associated with Masterpiece Theater or the Merchant-Ivory costume dramas.
Drunken, debauched and relishing every minute of it, Johnny Depp is the puckish embodiment of bawdy Restoration England in The Libertine, Laurence Dunmore's atmospheric but unsatisfying adaptation of Stephen Jeffreys' play about the notorious 17th-century poet/satirist, John Wilmot.
It's not that we don't like the 2nd Earl of Rochester; it's that we simply never come to understand the man known as "The Libertine."

But The Libertine is a playground for this actor to flounce around in; he opens the film with a dark and brooding variation on Heathcliffe and closes it with rotting teeth, decaying flesh, soiled trousers, and whimpering pleas for forgiveness for having lived his life as a cad.
he role Johnny Depp essays in The Libertine is a maverick poet of the Restoration era who's drunk, free-spirited, brilliant, a skirt chaser, a dazzling wit, a patron of the arts, and suffers a protracted death from syphilis at the age of 33.
John Wilmot, the Second Earl of Rochester, is a tragic artist figure in the Jim Morrison vein, heading down a hedonistic path to self-destruction, and what a way to go.

And yet The Libertine ultimately fails to connect because, although Wilmot warns us that we won't like him, it is never clear why we would want to like him or why we should even be told his life story.
Based on Stephen Jeffreys' play about the debaucherous life of writer John Wilmot, the Earl of Rochester, The Libertine is a whimsical yet wearisome portrait of a 17th century aristocrat's downward spiral into booze, whoring and personal and professional self-destruction.

“The Libertine” may be a cinematic mess, syphilis or no syphilis, but it got significantly worse when I had to cower and yell at my embattled and traumatized friend, “Tell me when its over!” every time Depp came on screen.
The main problem with “The Libertine” is that it is heavy handed, but not about anything exactly.
