Review of Quills (2000) by Eric H — 04 Feb 2013
Terrific photography, a great cast (only Phoenix is his usual talentless self), and bundles of great irony to be found in the story. The Church, religion, hypocrisy, and self-righteous morals get a well-deserved drubbing.
As twisted and perverted as De Sade may have been, he was an intellectual (which isn't commonly known), and any intelligent person will take his side when seeing what kind of people acted against him.
His comments about God and religion are particularly nasty and to the point. Its a raunchy comedy and its done well. if that is the type of movie you're hoping to set in front of yourself, this one delivers.
its melodrama, smut, violence and tongue...read more-in-cheek humor; its not a waste of your time if those are the qualities you've invested in. I would call "quills" terribly delightful.
