A nobleman with a literary flair, the Marquis de Sade lives in a madhouse where a beautiful laundry maid smuggles his erotic stories to a printer, defying orders from the asylum’s resident priest.

Viewing Notes

Kevin and I hit the theater to catch both having an interest in Marquis de Sade (and having reading some of his work). Overall pretty solid movie. Rush is good but I really like what Joaquin Phoenix does here.
