Erotic films: Quills

A brilliant biography of the last years of the life of the Marquis de Sade, father of sadism, who was sent away to the insane asylum at Charenton in 1803, where he aroused the young chambermaid/laundress.

 

The story about the last years of the infamous Marquis de Sade, who arouses a virgin/ chambermaid in the asylum, is very provocative and direct.

Attack on fake moralists

 

Quills is a film that should be watched by all the fake moralists who claim that they never have sex, and if they have sex, they do that behind the closed door of their dark bedroom. And these fake moralists, without doubt, have de Sade’s book Juliette Justine at home and they masturbate wildly and dream about its contents, drool over the book and then pretend that such things ruin our society and offend the Church. Dear people, let’s tell the truth and admit what we like, what truly turns us on and what we would like to do if we forgot about moral reservations.

 

The real Marquis de Sade, father of sadism, would be very proud of this film masterpiece.

 

Marquis de Sade also experienced all perversions in reality

 

“Murderer… Your words drove Bouchon to--,” shouts shocked priest Joaquin Phoenix, who plays the administrator at the Charenton asylum. De Sade looks at him and says: “For fuck’s sake, Abbe. What am I to do? Police my readers as you police me? Suppose one of your precious wards had attempted to walk on water and drowned? Would you condemn the Bible? I think not.” Let’s make it clear, the Marquis de Sade wasn’t a perverse freak, but a writer who wrote about perversities. Let’s make it clear again, the Marquis de Sade didn’t make things up, but he saw them with his own eyes because he spend most of his life at courts and explored the double nature of wealthy aristocrats. For instance, the earl publicly philosophised about the chaste marriage with his wife and condemned debauchery, while he secretly met up with very young girls at night and had anal sex with them. In any case, de Sade didn’t change the world, but merely showed that he knew the darkest secrets. Owing to that, he was often thrown into prison, but he was nevertheless a thorn in the French society’s side until his death in 1814.

 

Virgin Kate Winslet also turns reserved priest Joaquin Phoenix on.

 

The most perverse stories were written in the asylum

 

The film scrutinises the last years of his exciting life he spent in the asylum where supposedly the dirtiest stories were written. When a quill and ink were taken from him, he continued writing with wine and chicken bones. When wine and chicken bones were taken from him, he wrote with blood and glass. When blood and glass were taken from him, he wrote with his own faeces. Up to the end. Persistently and shockingly. Immorally and perversely. Sadistically and wildly. Sarcastically and ironically. That’s right, the Marquis de Sade was the father of sadism, that is, a sexual practice that caused a big stir. He adored wiping, torture and the primal animal sex. When he saw a woman, he first thought of her genitals, like Larry Flynt. Like every healthy guy. The Marquis de Sade, who is excellently played by Geoffrey Rush from Shine, was therefore the Larry Flynt of sadism and the master of hot erotica, who was only understood by naughty peasant girls that passionately implemented his literary ideas in their hay barn. The Marquis de Sade was an aphrodisiac on two legs and Spanish Fly in the human form. Behind the walls of the asylum, he organised roguish theatre plays over which court ladies were in raptures. Wealthy people were afraid of him, whereas poor people proclaimed him a hero. His books were going like hot cakes.

 

Quills is an example of excellent and very daring film that easily take revenge on all fake moralists.

 

Aroused maiden

 

He was even admired by priest Joaquin Phoenix and attractive chambermaid Kate Winslet, who he refinedly aroused with his stories every day. However, annoying doctor Michael Caine hated him because his young wife ran away from him after reading one of de Sade’s books. She found out that there’s more to sex than just husband’s boring and rough thrusting before going to sleep. Thus, a quill, paper and ink were taken from de Sade and finally his tongue was cut off. Kate Winslet was punished by public wiping, which caused deep feelings of guilt in priest Joaquin Phoenix had. Quills, directed by Philip Kaufman, author and director of the masterpieces Invasion of Body Snatchers and The Right Stuff and because of whom NC-17 rating was introduced thanks to the film Henry & June, is just the right mixture of bizarreness, dirt, erotica, comedy and tragedy. The film was overlooked at the 2001 Oscars, similar to Dancer in the Dark. What can we do, the Academy always overlooks truly good films and daring films.
