Quills

“Meet the Marquis de Sade. The pleasure is all his.”

★ 7.2 / 10 (758 votes)November 22, 2000124 minEN
Drama

In early 19th-century France, the Marquis de Sade is confined to an asylum where his forbidden writings continue to circulate beyond its walls. As the authorities tighten control, a clash unfolds between the Marquis’ unyielding imagination, the reformist ideals of the Abbé in charge, and the repressive measures of a doctor sent to silence him. Desire, power, and censorship collide in a battle over freedom of expression.
