Seventeenth Century Movie
Well, this certainly augers well for our course. A new film is being released this week on a seventeenth century writer -- John Wilmot, 2nd Earl of Rochester -- entitled The Libertine. The main thespian is one John Depp, secondaries include a "John Malkovich" and a "Samantha Morton,"and from what I have read of the film's account of Wilmot it seems to treat its subject, from one standpoint at least, in a manner approximating a seventeenth century moralism.
It will be great to have a class film evening for this. Would you each mind leaving a comment to this post listing what evening or evenings and times you might be available next week?

Any evening except Friday good for me.
Just FYI, Rotten Tomatoes has some rather unenthusiastic reviews for this movie.
" This might be worth viewing if the film's characters came to life or its abundant philosophical and moral observations went more than pockmarked-skin deep."
