oh, and the libertine was a real disappointment. for example, if you need to cast an actress for a nude scene and that actress has no lines and sole purpose is to stand there naked in a room while all the action goes on around her, then pick someone who doesn't have a massive tattoo on the small of her back. and if you do pick the one with the tattoo, at least cover the tat up properly with make-up and use lighting carefully so that it isn't blatantly obvious to the viewer that an actress, who is playing a part in a film that is set in the 18th century, has a massive tat on her back that hasn't been properly covered up.
in general the make-up department in this movie should be shot. john malkovic's nose in one scene in particular was also so obviously stuck on that it was irritating not to mention laughable to look at.
all of this really gave the movie an unpolished feel which was highly annoying as there were a lot of good actors cast in it, and it had potential.
