cinema history class: de sade (1969)

The session: "Porno Month...Well, Sort of: de Sade Month"
We watch films inspired by the works of the Marquis de Sade.


As always, there may be spoilers here. And the trailer may be NSFW and/or NSFL.

Week 2: De Sade (1969)
Directed by Cy Endfield

My Impressions Going In:
I had never heard of this.

Plot:
The life of Marquis de Sade -- fictionalized and dramatized.

Reaction and Other Folderol:
I had to miss this session. And I didn't get a chance to borrow Keith's copy of the disc (and for all I know it's a European format I can't play anyway), so I really can't comment. I'm providing a post about this movie just for the sake of completeness.

For what it's worth, I've read that this movie is majorly psychedelic. Also, I wasn't the only one who missed it -- Bob-O and Ethan did as well. Not that that really matters.

Ratings
Dave: 9.5
Joe: 10
