Directed by Philip Kaufman, Quills (2000) is an excellent period piece that re-imagines the drama of the famous libertine author, the Marquis de Sade, and his final years of imprisonment at the insane asylum at Charenton. Wonderful attention to early 19th Century historic detail mixes with fanciful erotica and moody cinematography. The cast does a great job, including Geoffrey Rush as the Marquis de Sade, Kate Winslet, Michael Caine, Joaquin Phoenix and Amelia Warner.
