The Libertine – Directed by Laurence Dunmore – Every American leading man with a smidgeon of intellectual pretension would love to be compared to Marlon Brando, but only Johnny Depp really earns the comparison. NY Press – By Matt Zoller Seitz.

You could see Brando’s characters working things out, sorting through their emotions and their place in the world, figuring out where they were in the narrative of their lives. Listen to how Brando’s Don Vito Corleone says, “I like to drink wine more than I used to,” as if touching the realization that he’ll grasp with his next line: “Anyway, I’m drinkin’ more.” Brando caught characters in the act of becoming, and fixed the moment in a look or a gesture. He turned psychology into poetry. And no matter how high his star had risen or how low it had sunk, he always seemed as if he were having fun (even if you weren’t). By treating every performance as an experiment while still conveying a sense of fun, Brando grasped multiple meanings in the line, “The play’s the thing.”

Depp shares all these qualities, along with Brando’s glimmers of cynicism and cruelty and hints of decadent boredom. Despite Depp’s pay increase after Pirates of the Caribbean, he still seems an outlaw in the Brando sense – an actor who consistently pushes against audience expectations and who treats each part as a puzzle, a game and a chance to see what he can get away with.

Everyone in Hollywood must face the same devilish question of compromise at some point. Many, in exchange for fame, fortune and a good table at Ashton Kutcher’s restaurant, will happily trade in their artistic aspirations for a big-budget, roman-numeral-bearing remake co-starring Tom Arnold as the zany neighbor next door. Others, meanwhile, cling so tightly to their anti-commercial virtues that they boast about their new John Sayles movie opening soon in one theater as their tears fall into the mac-and-cheese dinner they’ve prepared in their studio apartment. – Larry Carroll

Remarkably, Johnny Depp has successfully straddled this line for more than two decades, earning himself an audience filled with equal numbers of shrieking “Pirates” fanatics and turtleneck-clad film students joyously reciting “Dead Man” dialogue. It seems like part of his master plan, then, that the Kentucky-born actor would spend November simultaneously shooting the world’s most high-profile sequels, debuting a controversial unrated art film and receiving a career tribute at age 42.

“I’d do it over exactly the same way if I had to do it over,” Depp grinned through gold-capped teeth at the recent premiere of his bawdy drama “The Libertine.” “I wouldn’t do anything over.” To Depp, that credo now includes “The Libertine,” a sexy 17th-century biopic that the ratings board attempted to slap with an NC-17.

“I can just say that getting the film made [was tough], but you feel that about every movie you make,” said Depp, who stars as real-life poet John Wilmot.

NewWindPress – When “Pirates of the Caribbean” star, Johnny Depp, decided to leave America and set up home in France, he never dreamed that he would ever see it literally go up in flames. And that having happened, rumours are abuzz that he is planning leave the riot torn country.

“It’s insane, that setting cars on fire is the new strike. I went there (to France) to live because it seemed so simple. Now it’s anything but. I don’t know how they’ll recover from this,” said Depp.

In the opening frame of The Libertine, Johnny Depp, all delicious cheekbones and tousled hair as the sexual omnivore the Earl of Rochester, begins by challenging his audience. “You will not like me.” But of course you do. – By Chrissy Illey, Evening Standard

We meet in a sterile hotel room in Beverly Hills. Depp is wearing a scraggy T-shirt and jeans, spiky hair and hornrimmed glasses – but still looks absolutely gorgeous.

“I definitely had a phase in my life when Rochester and I would have spent the night together,” says Depp. “He is a character I know in a lot of ways. “I recognised something that I had gone through. I quit drinking spirits because I wouldn’t stop. I would just keep going until a black screen came down where you can’t see anything any more and you don’t know if you’re around.”

Depp quit drinking, thinking it was “wasting time”, and in the same period he stopped doing drugs. “Trying to numb and medicate myself was never about recreation. It was existing without living …
“I would have made a dangerous mistake of trying to live it. Not necessarily going out and shagging everything that had a pulse, but drinking, and I would never have got through it. Ten years later, I have a solid foundation to stand on.”

Then, of course, there was the raging, destructive, on-off relationship with Kate Moss. He regularly trashed hotel rooms (when he wasn’t strewing them with flowers for Moss) before he left the model to settle down with the French singer Vanessa Paradis,

21/11/2005 – Contact Music – JOHNNY DEPP credits his decision to set up home in France with allowing him to lead a normal life when he isn’t making movies.

“The nearest village has 1,500 people. I can take a ride into the village and go to the little local bar and have a coffee with my girl, and people say, ‘Hello Johnny, how are you?’ said Depp.

“You drive back home and walk in the vegetable garden with your kids and have a nice lunch – you know, real life, real life, not any of the hoopla that surrounds the industry here.”
