I watched Libertine too and found it to be much less than I had hoped for. I was hoping for more promiscuity. It was a well told story of a sad and wasted life - a part of me thinks he was truly afriad to let go and live life and instead hid in the dregs of a bottle taking what minor pleasures suited him.
A person/character with typically negative traits I feel a kinshp to? To live another life? Perhaps as Veronica Franco. Educated, clever, loved deeply, and on the downside ...a courtesan. Less than respectable, but *sigh*
