The January 2006 issue of Vogue Magazine ( U.S. ed.) has a full page review of Johnny’s new movie that everyone is talking about The Libertine. (Sienna Miller is on the cover of the January issue and the Libertine article is on page 80.) Here is a short excerpt from the article:
“What saves this from being a grim morality play is Depp, a dazzling chameleon whose sole flaw is that he hides himself so far inside his characters that we don’t feel the humanity within. Wilmot’s cynical detachment clearly speaks to something deep in this superb actor, inspiring his most expansive work since his larky turn as Captain Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean. With his long, wavy tresses and frilly garb, Depp’s Wilmot may look every inch a man of the past, but his disillusionment feels utterly modern. He’s a Restoration pop idol bored with his own power to thrill.”
