Quills (2000) short review

Kendra April 29, 2000

2000 Quills

I LOVE Kate Winslet, but this movie just made me want to stick a fork in my eye.  The story of the Marquis de Sade and his relationship with a maid in an insane asylum yadda yadda.  See it if you’re interested in watching Winslet run around in a Really Period late 18th century corset for the entire movie (although I’m not sure I buy that her character couldn’t afford SOME kind of dress), but beware — it’s a whole lot of Geoffrey Rush doing his Geoffrey Rush thing.
