"Quills" tells the tale of Marquis de Sade (the birth of true sadism is attributed to this man) in his later years. While the movie is far removed from the horrendous nature of the man himself, there is nothing more absorbing than a tale of such a beast told so well that you disregard history and treat yourself to the pleasures, not too vicarious mind you, of a tale well told. A story whose success is akin more to film-making than to narrating history. Simply put, enjoy the movie and don't look for too much authenticity.
