Overview
In early 19th-century France, the Marquis de Sade is confined to an asylum where his forbidden writings continue to circulate beyond its walls. As the authorities tighten control, a clash unfolds between the Marquis’ unyielding imagination, the reformist ideals of the Abbé in charge, and the repressive measures of a doctor sent to silence him. Desire, power, and censorship collide in a battle over freedom of expression.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A provocative historical drama that turns an asylum into a battleground between desire and repression, where one man's refusal to be silenced becomes an act of rebellion. It's sensual, darkly theatrical, and deeply concerned with who gets to control the stories we tell.
