A tale of history's most famous sexual
adventurer, the Marquis de Sade. A nobleman with a passion for writing,
he lives in a madhouse where a beautiful laundry maid begins to smuggle
his writings to a printer, defying orders from the resident priest. The
writings turn France upside and put the whole country into a sexual
frenzy, until a conservative doctor tries to put a stop to his writing
for good.
This film wasn't as good as I had hoped due to the setting of the film. The acting was great on the part of Geoffrey Rush, who carries the only good part of the movie. I am still amazed at the ferocity and passion of Geoffrey Rush's acting in this movie and wish he had won the Academy Award for Best Actor.
Rating: 2 1/2 of 5 stars
