just an amazing film. Geoffery Rush! Joachim Phoenix almost to painful to watch(not in Sade's way of course) Not for faint of heart, or rape/abuse... rvivors, except, we see an artist and a man in Sade. I have never seen a better performance....Geoferry, you should have gotten the acadamy award....Joachim, will they EVER STOP HAVING YOU HOLD SOMEONE WHO HAS JUST DIED< and you are devestated?!?!?!?!?!? Please HOLLYWOOD, don't do that to him anymore, too close. Unless it helps...I cant, NOT, think of that f'n 411 call, and River,............AHHHHHHHHHHH. Otherwise Kate Winslet my dear......immaculate performance. No Really! I hated the Marquis Da Sade b4 this film...its that brilliant. And Im snotty! : ) Full Review
Joaquin delivers one of the most compelling performances of his career. Sizzling hot, intriguing, this century's muse begins the moment of a career... that will be as sterling, provoking, and intellingent as the population will accept what Joaq has to offer. How rare to have the opportunity to witness such integrity from such a magnificent human beging. I only hope this is realized before we lose this privilege to another of his various, passionate and worth-while interests.All the Best Joaq - Love your friend Claudia Weier. Full Review
Critic Reviews
A savage comedy of sexual extremes; the barbed laughs draw blood.Full Review
Profane, sacrilegious, pornographic, sadistic and Sade-istic, titillating and the most honorable movie of the year.Full Review
A witty yet fiery and, in the best sense, provocative play of ideas about freedom of expression.Full Review
Uniformly robust acting puts still more feathers in the caps of Rush, Winslet and Caine.Full Review
Finds a tone that remains more entertaining than depressing, more absorbing than alarming.Full Review
