One of the Marquis de Sade's most notorious works is stripped to its basic elements here as Palance involves a number of nude women in his macabre forrays into black magic and sadism. Kinski turns in a fairly good performance as the marquis, but the film is mostly exploitive garbage. It's a shame that filmmakers have been reluctant to consider the marquis' philosophical concerns; De Sade's revolutionary ideas would almost certainly be more interesting (and less lurid) than his outrageous sexual descriptions. leave a comment
