The Movie is set in the late 1600's in England. Malkovich is the King and Depp is his "hate the world" brother. The opening scene grabs your interest as depp addresses the audience in a Blair Witch type setting saying the woman and men will both hate him.
Depp is a writer/poet who drinks for 5 years straight, sleeps around, kills a guy, orders all cock around and is enthralled by the playhouse in which he writes a play (requested by his brother) to impress the French. The Play is about dildos and pricks basically. He's an ass to everyone in the movie, especially to his wife, who stands by him, he's in love with some shitty actress. who he helps become a star of the playhouse and she "shits" on him. That's about it. Kinda funny in places, but is pretty slow and uninspiring. Depp is really quite good, but nothing really happens in the story to make it interesting.
