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.

Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
"Quills" is sensational in every sense of the word.
– Jeremy Gerard,
Variety,
23 Feb 2012
fresh:
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.
– Derek Adams,
Time Out,

fresh:
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.
– Peter Rainer,
New York Magazine/Vulture,
21 May 2001
rotten:
More heavy-handed than memorable.
– Desmond Ryan,

A marvelous, saucy romp.
