The extraordinary staging of this version of Rostand's play, has all the showmanship, pleasure and brutality necessary to introduce in Paris in about 1630 and looks especially the first scene in the Theater of Opera still primitive; fashion design has the agility to use a sword "rapier" or show a "precious" like an apparition from another world ... the theatricality of the Baroque. The start acertadísima also looks at the site of Arras, where the French Gascones are besieged by the Spanish Armada. The Staging is a feast for the eye as Delacroix would say, and you like the Historical Film.

Excelent staging, fashion design and photography perfect pint and the Spain of Philip IV Velázquez "King Planet," is in my opinion so perfect sunset and plays so well with the script and the casting is not very wise not to be valued "original" .. something that maybe happened to "Alfred The Great" 1969 Clive Donner. Just as only the French put us so perfect in the French Revolution .. the Spaniards gave this the perfect body, sturdy, stoic and heroic of those who actually held the loyalty with Spanish Empire grim story.

" Impeccable period setting the England first quarter of the nineteenth century, the fashion design and every detail of the way of working of the artist, are perfect; social situations and modes of the time are perfect ... even , as in "Dangerous Liaisons " the characters think and feel at that time .

Spotless, great , accurate setting of the time of Vermmer and Rembrandt, the Netherlands around 1650. The light of the work of Vermeer is moved with admirable precision in this film low profile but very noticeable and correct biographically . highly Recommended

Exquisite , imaginative, brilliant and exciting start with a thorough understanding of the social and political situation in 1791 in France when the Royal Family tries to escape to the Austrian border where the allies of the monarchy are with the plan to return troops to regain the throne .

Excellent !

The Libertine (original title) Director: Laurence Dunmore Writer: Stephen Jeffreys Johnny Depp, Paul Ritter, John Malkovich

The story of John Wilmot, a.k.a. the Earl of Rochester, a 17th century poet who famously drank and debauched his way to an early grave, only to earn posthumous critical acclaim for his life's work. IMDB

Magnificent, a ferocious staging of the seventeenth century in England that voluptuous and dirty takes us into the desperate emptiness and eternally unsatisfied soul of the Earl of Rochester looking in madness and extreme art, inspiration and poetry; a nobleman, a misunderstood poet and only seen as a libertine what leads him to self-destruction, excellent work.

A very precise, acute and insiciva staging with an excellent design of clothing they power a ferocious and very credible script. Without waste; highly recommended!
