Meet the Marquis de Sade. The pleasure is all his.
Drama
Synopsis
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.

How could they have gotten this movie so wrong given the talent on the cast? The movie was just kind of all over the place. At first it (correctly) seemed to be about forbidden pleasures and desires before dropping the sexual appeal in favor of drama (and at times, comedy). The movie just didn't seem to work once the sexual tension subsided. And for some reason Rush didn't work - it might be that every time I see him I think of Captain Barbosa as his mannerisms are often the same. So disappointing. follow me at https://IHATEBadMovies.com or facebook IHATEBadMovies

I like this movie because the plot is interesting and because the cast is amazing. Everyone acts very well. Although the plot loses the incendiary sexual theme by the end.
