Review of The Libertine (2004) by Nathalie G — 01 Aug 2008
Very graphic...but possibly excusable as it illustrates the society and culture which John Wilmot lived in. A bit of artistic license taken with the truth, but generally not too bad.
More could have been made of his conversion...
Does not give a very clear moral or message, but allows you to draw your own conclusions. In this way very good, as it appears a fairly unbiased chronicle of Wilmot's life.
Worth seeing if you can get over the sexuality and language.
