The Libertine (1968 Film)
''The Libertine'' (Italian: ''La matriarca'', lit. "The matriarch") is a 1968 Italian film directed by Pasquale Festa Campanile. Plot This is a sex comedy film about Mimi (Catherine Spaak), a young widow who discovers that her recently deceased husband kept a secret apartment for his kinky desires. Frustrated that he did not explore his sexual fantasies with her, she embarks on a quest to understand perversion and sexuality. She uses her late husband's apartment to seduce various men, each time learning more about the depths of human depravation, as well as the extent of the sexual double standard for women (late in the film, she states, "I notice men only call me a whore when I say no. Or stop saying yes.") Finally, she meets the man who shares himself fully with her, appreciates her sexual daring and accepts her for whoever she is.

''Le Libertin'' (The Libertine) is a French comedy film directed by Gabriel Aghion and released in 2000. It is an adaptation of a 1997 play by Éric-Emmanuel Schmitt. Synopsis The philosopher Denis Diderot, one of the modernists of the French 18th-century Age of Enlightenment movement, is a guest at the château of the Baron d'Holbach. The film depicts the Baron (in reality a major sponsor of Diderot) as a benign host and inventor of amusing machines, including a piganino. Diderot's banned ''Encyclopédie'' is being secretly set up, printed and bound in a crypt beneath the chapel, where the noise of the presses is masked by the playing of an organ. Madame Therbouche, a purported portrait painter and intrigante, arrives from Berlin. She has made a painting of Diderot's idol, Voltaire, and convinces him to be more daring and to pose for her in the nude, leading to an animated row with his wife Antoinette. This unsavoury event is witnessed by a feared visitor, Baron d'Holbach's ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

The Libertines
The Libertines are an English rock band, formed in London in 1997 by frontmen Carl Barât (vocals/guitar) and Pete Doherty (vocals/guitar). The band, centred on the songwriting partnership of Barât and Doherty, has also included John Hassall (bass), and Gary Powell (drums) for most of its recording career. The band was part of the garage rock revival and spearheaded the movement in the UK. The band gained some notoriety in the early 2000s, due to Doherty's use of illegal drugs and conflicts between Barât and Doherty. Although their mainstream success was initially limited, their profile soon grew, culminating in a No. 2 single and No. 1 album on the UK Charts. In December 2004, their self-titled second album was voted the second best album of the year by ''NME'' magazine. The first two of their full-length LPs were produced by Mick Jones, of the British punk band The Clash. In spite of their critical and commercial success, the band's music was often eclipsed ...

The Libertine (play)
''The Libertine'' is a play by Thomas Shadwell published in 1676. The play is an adaptation of the original plot of ''El burlador de Sevilla'', written by Tirso de Molina, which follows the story of a horrid womanizer who plays with his life and others as he commits sins and "shapeshifts" into a devil-like man. Like most of the adaptations, ''The Libertine'' is a story of a mischievous man condemned to pay for the actions of his sins. Characters The play Prologue ''The Libertine'' begins with a preface and prologue. Both address the contemporary public of the latter 1600s and therefore should be interpreted in that context. Such prefaces were often used as a means to "settle scores" between authors. Shadwell and John Dryden regularly referenced each other and were famous for their altercations. Thus, Shadwell's "infamous, coarse and vulgar censorship of a maker of verse" is a direct allusion to Dryden. Act I The first act of ''The Libertine'' opens with a philosophical discussi ...
