Movie Haiku:More "fun" to discuss than actually watch. The film anchors itself at the beginning with scenes from the French Revolution. Watching this madness as well as its build-up & aftermath, the Marquis de Sade (Rush) is driven to spend his life continuously raising the stakes & daring God to speak.
