Quills
In a Napoleonic era insane asylum, an inmate, the irrepressible Marquis De Sade, fights a battle of wills against a tyrannically prudish doctor. This historical drama examines how much controversy he could cause even under repressive circumstances.

You'll swear you can hear a throaty cackle of approval from the hereafter.

Kaufman and writer Doug Wright (adapting his own play) infuse the film with a decadent playfulness befitting a film about the Marquis.

More heavy-handed than memorable.

Kaufman's biopic of the notorious Marquis de Sade is sharply uneven, serious, poignant, trashy, sleazy and sensationslist, marred by over-the-top turn from Geoffrey Rush.

A marvelous, saucy romp.

It pokes at sexual taboos - it's pretty subversive, considering - but sexuality and creativity are indelibly linked, and its true subject is expression, repression and catharsis.

While it is horrible and sordid, it's also witty, fast-paced and intriguing as it explores freedom of expression.

Quills, about the marquis de Sade, is a voluptuous impasto. Everything in it -- the colors, the locations, the people -- seems swirled with a mixture of decadence and grace.

The material benefits from a top-rank cast that fleshes out what could seem merely an exercise in philosophy.

"Quills" is sensational in every sense of the word.
