Watch Quills (2000) Official Trailer
Meet the Marquis de Sade. The pleasure is all his.
7.1 / 10 IMDb November 22, 2000 2h 4m
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.
