Kinda fun as a low-energy pulp-watch. Not really a great movie if I'm honest but you can overlook a lot of the bad acting, writing, action scenes etc just because it's a cult film that you mainly want to see for the pop-culture references.
I was a little skeptical going into this. Probably a flattering and less-than-historically-accurate portrayal of Sade but maybe it's not the most important thing. At times I had to wonder what point this foil of humanising Sade the writer was trying to make, whether it is trying to rehabilitate his literary merit in its historical context or simply a device to amplify the split between his own character and that of 'Colin'. Somehow it doesn't quite sit right with me…
Hits all the right notes. Christ the revolutionary. Hard to imagine it being done better.
