 Quills: Review by Neil Schaeffer, author of The Marquis de Sade: A Life
De Sade's vows of vengeance were stoked up during all those years locked up in Vincennes and the Bastille and when he was freed after the revolution, becoming an official of the radical Section des Picques in Paris, he had the opportunity to wreak that vengeance.
The movie sacrifices the truth of this relationship and of Coulmier's own fate to a surreal and didactic conclusion that has no connection with the truth, and is probably overwrought even as a twist of a fictional plot.
Indeed, De Sade's hideous death in the movie is nothing like the truth, for he died in his sleep, in his 74th year, as peacefully as any good Christian.

 Napoleon Series Reviews: Quills, the Movie
Sade had already spent much of his life in prison for various offenses, having been incarcerated under the ancien regime and the Revolution, before being held in custody under Napoleon (nor was he released after the Restoration).
Sade was described as "very big, very fat, very cold, very heavy, a large mass, a vulgar, short man whose head seemed a shameful ruin." Needless to say, Sade never had his tongue cut out as in the film, though that image presents a good allegory for the supposed censorship of Sade's writing.
Sade kept detailed, though coded, records of his interactions with the young girl, recording that he first sodomized Magdeleine when she was about fifteen years old (he was reportedly also sodomizing a young boy from the asylum at about the same time).

 Sade | Featured Videos, Photos and Articles | MTV
When Sade first came on the recording scene in the '80s, her record company, Epic, made a point of printing "pronounced shar-day" after her name on the record labels of her releases.
Sade was so popular that some radio stations reinstated the '70s practice of playing album tracks, adding "Is It a Crime" and "Tar Baby" to their play lists.
Sade's third album was 1988's Stronger Than Pride and featured her first number one soul single "Paradise," "Nothing Can Come Between Us," and "Keep Looking." A new Sade album didn't appear for four years.

 Sade
By the time of his death in 1814, the Marquis de Sade had spent a third of his life in prison and produced some of the most forward thinking and bawdy satires of his age with such scandalous works as Justine, or The Misfortunes of Virtue and The Crimes of Love.
It is here that Sade meets the Viscount and Madame de Lancris (Jean Pierre Cassel and Dominique Reymond) and their daughter Emilie and the notorious marquis seems to set his cap for the pretty, intelligent young woman.
There is more, though, to the relationship as Sade convinces her to become his secretary and proceeds to awaken her intellectually and, particular, sexually, but not in a way you would think.

 Quills
Sade used the pornographic genre--very much in demand during the French Revolution--not as an end in and of itself, but as a lure to gain an audience for his theories.
There is hardly a one of Sade's elaborately choreographed tableaux of debauchery that does not serve to provide the subject for an eloquent discourse supplied by a speaker who serves as a mouthpiece for the author's idiosyncratic blend of rigorously reasoned materialism and equally intransigent atheism.
However, since she is restricted from going to his cell at night, Sade has to recite the story to an inmate in an adjoining cell, who in turn relays it to his neighbor, etc., until it reaches the ears of Madeleine.

 BFI | Sight & Sound | His Nibs
De Sade is confined in Charenton asylum for the rest of the movie, which uses his writings there - or at least a pastiche of them - to literalise a notion of art as necessary escapism.
De Sade gave Wright the opportunity to take the conservative notion that violence in art stands in a direct and culpable relationship to violence in life, and the liberal imperative that art be kept unfettered "to critique", in Wright's words, "the man-made institutions of church and state", to their furthest dramatic extremes.
As de Sade's latest story is passed orally through the walls, the one passing it on to her is Bouchon, who gets off on murdering, gashing, all that stuff.

 Quills: Cinephiles Movie Review
Having secured a somewhat priviledged situation within the confines of the asylum, the exiled Marquis de Sade (Geoffrey Rush) has his own suite, drinks wine with his meals, and counts on a constant supply of ink, quills and paper, on which to unleash his wild reveries.
Furthermore, Sade's secret exchanges with the sensuous laundress Madeleine (Kate Winslet) arouse his inspiration and provide a venue by which his provocative compositions may reach the external world.
However, while throughout the plot the character of Sade is attacked for his very nature, the writer defends his work as pure fiction.

Daniel Auteuil stars as the infamous Marquis de Sade, who at the beginning of Sade, is serving a sentence in Paris' grim Saint Lazarde prison.
The year is 1794, and Sade is being persecuted for his steadfast atheism, which runs counter to the beliefs of Robespierre, France's terrifying revolutionary leader.
Meanwhile, Sensible, who has a son who calls Sade "Papa," is forced to share the bed of her own protector, Fournier (Gregoire Colin), a moody lout who hates Sade and works for none other than Robespierre.

Sade- (French movie, seen in French with no subtitles) I think we were feeling good after seeing Harry and having few problems with listening comprehension.
Love, Honour, and Obey (British movie, seen in english with french subtitles) The French title of the movie is "Gangsters, Sex, and Karaoke" and when I went to see it, I didn't know the real title, so what I expected was what I got, because those three little words sum it up quite succinctly.
The Yards (American movie, seen in english with french subtitles) The movie is just plain excellent, and the acting deserves all the praise that the critics have given it.

 Reflections
Being that De Sade is the subject of the film, one would expect an obsessive preoccupation with the perverted, deviant all anything overly salacious, something a la “Quills” with Geoffrey Rush.
In “Sade” on the other hand, the sexual current is something that runs through a series of normal relationships among a group of people; these relationships involve infidelities, same gender relationships and some violent eruptions both wanted and unwanted.
Sade himself is shown as one of many participants in the human drama rather than a true deviant; he is merely more conscious of the goings on around him, with the capability to capture and put down on paper the inner workings of urges, passions and frustrations.

Geoffrey Rush (the pianist from "Shine") is a curious choice for de Sade; we might have imagined Willem Dafoe or Christopher Walken in the role, but Kaufman chooses not an actor associated with the bizarre but one associated with madness.
De Sade is in the grasp of fixed ideas that sweep all sanity aside; unable to realize his fantasies in the asylum, he creates them through the written word, like a salesman or missionary determined to share his enthusiasm whether or not the world desires it.
De Sade has been described as the ultimate extension of the libertarian ideal, but that is lunacy: He goes beyond ideology to madness.

 Salon.com Arts & Entertainment | "Sade"
The movie is as far as you can get from racy, to the point where it almost stops the blood flow to your brain; it has a dull, costumey feel.
The plot of "Sade" consists mostly of young Emilie's repeated and wearying trips to Sade's quarters (she has been forbidden by her parents to associate with him, which immediately gives him more cachet than Justin Timberlake), where he challenges her with brain teasers in an effort to warp her little mind.
Their scenes together are the most honest in the movie, and they're the only moments in which the picture burrows in any satisfactory way into Sade's character.

Sade asks whether it would be the fault of God and the Bible if one of the inmates attempted to walk on water and subsequently drowned.
Stealing the entire movie, however, is the bravura performance by Rush as the Marquis (for which he was justly nominated for an Oscar).

And de Sade’s internment is justified as he himself is shown as a man with a penchant for causing people harm.
The movie tries to make him out as merely a fanciful, dirty-minded writer, focusing more on clever euphemisms for various parts of the anatomy than on his more incendiary writing and habits.
Every character is a loser at the beginning of the movie and every character is a loser (or dead) at the end of the movie.

 OFFOFFOFF film review SADE movie by Benoit Jacquot with Daniel Auteuil, Marianne Denicourt, Gregoir Colin, Idlid Le ...
Sade (Daniel Auteuil) has little money of his own at this point but arrives at Picpus thanks to the persuasive powers of his longtime mistress Sensible (Marianne Denicourt), who has taken into her bed National Convention deputy Fournier (Gregoire Colin).
Sade finds the prison's relative comfort and its highly idle atmosphere an ideal opportunity to return to his writing and to foment his ideas in a new generation of "innocents," embodied by the ingenue Emile (Islid Le Besco).
Jacquot has written that he likes to think of "Sade" as "a cross between a rose and a whip", but despite all the violence it encompasses, this film never lashes out to sting its audience.

The Marquis de Sade (1740-1814), was born in a palace and ended his life in infamy in a lunatic asylum.
The Marquis de Sade lived under three regimes, Monarchy, Revolution, Napoleon, he was unacceptable and beyond the pale under all three.
A world that followed Sade would be a world in which evil rules the land, where the rich and powerful can do as they please, free to steal, rape and murder, to satisfy their lust.

 Amazon.co.uk: DVD: Quills [2001]   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
Imprisoned in France's Charenton asylum at the turn of the 18th century, de Sade is a stately court jester in dishevelled finery, and Rush imbues the role with the fierce urgency of a writer whose sexual fantasies are his sole remaining defence against repression and hypocrisy.
De Sade smuggles manuscripts out of Charenton with help from Madeleine (Kate Winslet), a virginal laundress who relishes de Sade's scandalous prose--a divine irony since she was taught to read by asylum abbé Coulmier (Joaquin Phoenix), whose desire for Madeleine is suppressed by Catholic propriety.
Intertwined with the battle about de Sade's freedom to write (and more importantly, to publish) is his and the Abbé's battle for Madeleine (Kate Winslet), the Marquis's ally in the publication of his writings as much as she is Coulmier's prodigy and pupil.

Dramatizing the final hours of French revolutionary Jean-Paul Marat (Ian Richardson) before he was killed by Charlotte Corday (Glenda Jackson, in one of the defining moments of her career), de Sade offers the play as an entertaining whim for the tiny audience of asylum director Coulmier (Clifford Rose) and his family.
What needs to be known of de Sade involves, primarily, his second stay at the asylum at Charenton, although, it an idea of his philosophy should be displayed here.
His body racked with a fever he threw himself into writing for the revolution, creating policy on dealing with enemies, declaring traitors and spurring the masses on in their bloodbath in the name of freedom.

To anyone who asks, Sade denies having written any particularly lurid tales, though some of the publishers of those tales have lost their heads at the guillotine.
Sade's story in this film revolves primarily around a young girl, probably just barely on the verge of eighteen and a sexual awakening.
Sade sets up a purely Sadian sexual awakening for Emilie, involving a pouty groundskeeper boy and acting himself as a kind of referee.

 Flipside Movie Emporium: Salò, or The 120 Days of Sodom Movie Review
Drawing on Sade's source material, but updating it and making it his own, Pasolini's (Arabian Nights, Medea, The Canterbury Tales) Salò is the story of four aristocratic noblemen during World War II.
These four individuals: the Duc, the President, the Bishop, and the Magistrate, conceive an elaborate plan to kidnap 18 teenagers and abscond with them to an isolated mountain retreat, taking along their own daughters (who the four main characters have swapped and taken as wives), an entourage of guards, and four prostitutes.
Few can look back on Sade's novel or Pasolini's film with fond memories, but even fewer would admit to not being affected by their savage vision.

 'Sade'
The Marquis de Sade (Daniel Auteuil), now in his 50s, has been relocated to a country-club prison for those nobles who have not already fed Madame Guillotine's insatiable maw.
In "Sade," the Marquis is still very much in possession of his senses, his dark wit and his persuasive charm, although you get the impression that the spirit is more willing than the flesh.
The movie comes ablaze only when the Terror comes literally to their door -- Jacquot gives us images that would not have been out of place in a Holocaust newsreel -- and de Sade orchestrates Emilie's sexual initiation in a fairly explicit scene.

 FilmCan Movie Profile:Sade (SAD-1)
French director Benoît Jacquot is at the helm, with the wonderful Daniel Auteuil in the title role, and the result is a clever, complicated story about post-revolutionary France, as told through the eyes of a man who has thrown out his faith and morality along with the old regime.
It's earthy, gritty and thoroughly involving as Sade worms his way into the lives of those around him, all of whom are former nobility awaiting the guillotine (costars include the marvelous and gorgeous Marianne Denicourt and Gregoire Colin).
Sade is a fiercely clever and subtle film, capturing the precarious balance between the extravagant confidence of the exiled aristocracy and the cruel earnestness of the victorious revolutionaries.
