Tonight I went to see Quills; I found it quite interesting and enjoyable.
Geoffrey Rush plays the Marquis de Sade with great relish, revelling in his
wickedness, with Michael Caine playing a larger-than-life monster.
The sets,
costumes and cinematography are also excellent, and add to the atmosphere.
I will probably go and see it again at some stage.
(I was also reminded of another, thematically similar, film I once saw,
Marat/Sade (to abbreviate its title somewhat), made in the 1960s,
adapted from a play and starring Glenda Jackson;
I remember that David Thrussell sampled part of the dialogue of it for one
of his SNOG pieces.)
