"The Libertine" casting by Johnny Depp

[hanashian]

There's this movie called "The Libertine", which is released in the last year.
I found this movie quite poignant and profound... though it's using too much of classic english... Does anyone of you here familiar with classic english? I bet if any of you would recognize the movie, as it's rated "RESTIRCTED" in the States... The thing which is prompting me to rent this movie is it's casting by Johnny Depp and John Malkovich.... Any thoughts on the movie?

It's not a "happy" movie. It's about a hedonist alcoholic syphilitic. Beginning young, shiny & new. All the way to old, ugly & gross. But I was enthralled all the way through.

Let us know what you think.
