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.
Quills is a Drama film released in 2000.

00:40:35,830 --> 00:40:39,130
She came with a statue of
the Virgin Mary in the bargain.
488
00:40:42,500 --> 00:40:46,430
She arrived with a statue of Mary
and a crucifix around her neck...
489
00:40:46,670 --> 00:40:48,600
...from a convent.
490
00:40:49,510 --> 00:40:50,720
Tell me more.
491
00:40:51,170 --> 00:40:53,810
He's old enough to have
fathered her twice over.
492
00:40:54,050 --> 00:40:55,690
The hypocrite.
493
00:40:56,260 --> 00:40:59,400
This has all the makings of a farce.
496
00:41:15,570 --> 00:41:18,000
Abbé de Coulmier, you rascal!
497
00:41:18,240 --> 00:41:21,380
Your comedies are the rage.
I had to claw my way to a ticket.
498
00:41:21,620 --> 00:41:23,010
And so expertly acted!
499
00:41:23,250 --> 00:41:25,550
That charming man
in last week's comedy...
500
00:41:25,790 --> 00:41:28,470
...I'd no idea he was an imbecile.
501
00:41:28,710 --> 00:41:32,020
- Everyone has talents if we look.
- Yes, I'm sure.
502
00:41:32,220 --> 00:41:34,520
Isn't that
the new doctor? How thrilling.
503
00:41:34,760 --> 00:41:38,440
A renowned expert,
right here at Charenton.
504
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:40,320
I will say one thing for him.
505
00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:43,030
He has a beautiful daughter.
506
00:42:00,620 --> 00:42:03,340
Oh, enough of this bilge.
507
00:42:04,500 --> 00:42:06,380
We're better than this.
508
00:42:07,290 --> 00:42:10,550
Remember, gentlemen.
Inside each of your...
509
00:42:11,170 --> 00:42:14,730
...delicate minds,
your distinctive bodies...
510
00:42:15,300 --> 00:42:18,060
...art is waiting to be born!
511
00:42:18,300 --> 00:42:20,980
Let's give the doctor
a performance tonight...
512
00:42:21,180 --> 00:42:23,480
...I hope he'll remember forever.
513
00:42:50,460 --> 00:42:51,760
That's Madame Bougival.
514
00:42:51,960 --> 00:42:56,100
And of course, in front of them,
the Marquis' wife.
515
00:42:57,300 --> 00:42:58,560
Indeed?
516
00:43:13,780 --> 00:43:16,410
You. North wind.
517
00:43:17,110 --> 00:43:19,290
Madames and messieurs...
518
00:43:20,410 --> 00:43:23,880
...there's been a change
in tonight's program.
519
00:43:24,160 --> 00:43:27,630
We will not be performing
<i>The Happy Shoemaker.</i>
521
00:43:29,170 --> 00:43:33,100
Instead, we'd like to premiere
a new play...
522
00:43:33,800 --> 00:43:36,310
...in honor of the newly appointed...
523
00:43:36,510 --> 00:43:39,480
...Dr. Royer-Collard
and his lovely bride.
525
00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:42,520
A comedy entitled... .
526
00:43:45,850 --> 00:43:48,990
<i>-Crimes of Love.
- The Crimes of Love.</i>
527
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:53,030
Written by one of Charenton's
very own wards...
528
00:43:53,650 --> 00:43:56,290
...the Marquis de Sade!
529
00:44:43,870 --> 00:44:46,130
Sister Saint-Fond, whither do we go?
530
00:44:46,330 --> 00:44:48,960
Passing over rivers, canyons and snow?
531
00:44:49,200 --> 00:44:52,220
Hurry, Eugenie
For we must not tarry
532
00:44:52,460 --> 00:44:55,760
I deliver you now
To the man you shall marry
533
00:44:56,920 --> 00:45:02,270
When you have rested at your leisure
He'll coach you in ways of pleasure
534
00:45:07,470 --> 00:45:09,650
At last she arrives
535
00:45:09,850 --> 00:45:12,610
My hard-won bride
536
00:45:15,810 --> 00:45:18,990
Hurry, my child, and scurry inside
537
00:45:19,230 --> 00:45:22,330
There you'll find
Such treasures await you
538
00:45:22,570 --> 00:45:26,380
Marzipan and meringue to sate you
539
00:45:26,570 --> 00:45:29,710
Such gallantry in men
Is sadly a rarity
540
00:45:29,950 --> 00:45:33,170
How lucky I am to receive his charity
541
00:45:35,710 --> 00:45:38,970
Thank you, dear sister
For abetting me so
542
00:45:39,500 --> 00:45:43,430
Bringing her here
To this secluded chateau
543
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:45,140
Was that good?
544
00:45:47,220 --> 00:45:50,150
Little does she know
The terrors in store
545
00:45:50,350 --> 00:45:52,480
When I tutor her
546
00:45:52,730 --> 00:45:55,990
In <i>Les crimes de L'amour</i>
547
00:46:02,900 --> 00:46:06,670
Take this side of the curtain.
One, two, three.
549
00:46:32,720 --> 00:46:35,440
Quickly, my suckling
Out of your clothes
550
00:46:35,690 --> 00:46:38,450
My scepter awaits
How solid it grows
551
00:46:38,650 --> 00:46:41,280
Stop it, I beg you
Have pity, I say
552
00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:44,370
You're not my lover
You're a monstrous <i>roué</i>
553
00:46:44,570 --> 00:46:47,330
Do as you're told
554
00:46:48,870 --> 00:46:51,960
Stick your legs in the air
- Leave at once.
555
00:46:52,700 --> 00:46:54,340
- It's just begun.
- Do as I say.
556
00:47:01,630 --> 00:47:04,390
It's true
I'm a pig
557
00:47:04,960 --> 00:47:08,140
And you've truffles down there
558
00:47:10,220 --> 00:47:13,360
Oh, God, what's this?
Such a wicked sensation
559
00:47:13,600 --> 00:47:16,490
