"A seductively entertaining, fangs-bared historical comedy. "—Newsday
Johnny Depp adds another memorable rogue to his body of work, namely the hedonistic John Wilmot, 2nd Earl of Rochester. Wilmot is summoned to the court of King Charles II (John Malkovich) to craft a biography of the beleaguered King. But Wilmot's appetites, including his growing feelings for an actress (Samantha Morton), bring scandal to the court, and threaten the downfall of King and Earl alike. Lush production design and a marvelous score by Michael Nyman boost the story, adapted by Stephen Jeffreys from his own play.
