Mondo Macabro presents MARQUIS – Visually wild and totally unhinged, this underground cult classic is not for the faint of heart.
Imprisoned in the Bastille for a minor act of blasphemy, the Marquis navigates lust, censorship, and the chaos of pre-revolutionary France. Through his wild imagination, he escapes into scandalous tales he writes down on scraps of paper. But the idea of a real escape begins to take shape when his cellmates start planning their breakout to join the revolutionary movement beyond the Bastille walls.
This truly astonishing film, loosely based on the life of the notorious Marquis de Sade, is like nothing you’ve ever seen before. The characters are all animals played by real actors in life-sized masks, and the Marquis’ constant companion is his oversized talking penis, which pops out of his trousers to hold long conversations with him about the state of the world.
STARRING: Bien de Moor, Gabrielle van Damme, Philippe Bizot
