About This Movie

Quills is a 2000 drama film directed by Philip Kaufman. Its leading cast includes Geoffrey Rush, Kate Winslet and Joaquin Phoenix. It runs for 2 hours 4 minutes.

Synopsis

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.
