Plot: "Only in excess can one find liberty." Oh, that's right--the Marquis de Sade wasn't just a freaky-deaky sex fiend, he was also a philosopher. And that's the side illuminated in Sade, a marvelou...( read more read more... )sly chewy look at an episode from the life of the indecent marquis. In 1794, after the Revolution, Robespierre has imprisoned Sade in a comfortable old nunnery, along with some royalists. Daniel Auteuil's superb performance in the title role brings a lifetime of scandalous living to Sade's face, and he makes the man utterly unapologetic. By the time Sade deflowers a fascinated young woman, the act is more a defiant political statement (for both of them) than a naughty roll in the hay. This is another good one from director Benoît Jacquot (A Single Girl, Seventh Heaven), whose work always manages to be calm but passionate. It certainly tops Quills, another look at the enigma of Sade. --Robert Horton

    ''L'Adversaire'' de Nicole Garcia. Adaptation qui m'a un tantinet déçu mais qui, néanmoins, nous laisse le loisir de constater l'humanité de Jean-Claude Rommand (Jean-Marc Faure, tss..), ce que le roman de Carrère, bien que truffé de détails, n'aurait jamais pu nous faire prendre conscience. La performance de Daniel Auteuil est tout simplement, encore une fois, incroyable, et remplit à perfection sa mission d'incarnation d'un homme qui a manipulé la société à ses propres dépends.

    Seen this when it first came out on video (which was around the time 'Quills' came out.) It's a good french film. I can still remember the line "Don't have children. They will only destroy your body and grow up to hate you." Don't know why I remembered the line. Guess it sounded cool. Oh, and Daniel Auteuil's Sade makes Geoffery Rush's Sade look like a comic book villian.
