"Marquis"
1990
Directed by Henri Xhonneux & Roland Topor

An audacious rendering of the political, social and sexual manners of the ancien regime and the class  division and social disruption that produced the French Revolution. Adapted from the writings of the Marquis de Sade, Henri Xhonneux and Roland Topor's elegantly witty film uses elaborate puppets in human form to act out erotic and sexual decadence. "Elegantly naughty with wry, intellectual satire. The film plays out all manner of human desire" (J. Hoberman). French with English subtitles.
80 minutes.
