Cool flick about the Marquis de Sade. I was hesitant to rent it, thinking they would glorify this man who was a pretty sick guy. It was well done, though, and was realistic in portraying the man who has been villified and martyred (is THAT a word? ;) ).

They portrayed him as very disturbed, but also examined his writing and its implications. It's a thought provoking movie with a lot of themes that are really poignant in this day when everything is blamed on the media.

Just curious what others who saw it thought?

I saw Quills in the theatre, Geoffrey Rush and Kate Winslet were great but Joaquin Phoenix sucked.

IMO it was a good movie with a predictable ending. The guy was a twisted genius and his work is much much more hardcore than it was shown in the movie.
