A severed head in a basket. A talking penis in a cell. Welcome to the Bastille, 1789. This is not your typical history lesson. In this audacious, stop-motion animated comedy, the Marquis de Sade pens his infamous works while his anthropomorphic genitalia, Colin, argues for freedom. A riotously obscene and politically charged satire, 'Marquis' (1989) reimagines the French Revolution through a lens of surreal puppet depravity, where philosophical debate and base desire collide in a dungeon. It’s a bizarre, one-of-a-kind animated experience that is as intellectually provocative as it is grotesquely funny.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

The director constructs a provocative universe where stop-motion animation fuels bold satire. Every frame brims with grotesque imagery and historical allusion, transforming weighty themes into absurd farce.

It suits admirers of dark humor and experimental cinema. The viewer will feel a blend of shock and admiration for its audacity, where nothing is held sacred. — MovieFinder Editorial

Director: Henri Xhonneux
