Quills Movie Synopsis

In an insane asylum in Paris, 1807, an infamous author and sexual maven Marquis de Sade (Rush) is treated for insanity by a doctor (Caine) hired by de Sade's wife. A priest (Phoenix) is asked to meet with de Sade, which sets the two (doctor and priest) into a battle of wills over the debate of morality and sin. Added to the mix is de Sade's maid (Winslet) who is able to visit him frequently and smuggle out what will become his last writings.

one of the best casts ever. well acted, dark and beautiful.

Joaquin Phoenix is soooooooooo smoking hot!!! And by the way the movie is really good and the acting is sooooooo good too especially Joaquin Phoenix!

One of the best movies ever. Brilliant, spectacular, stunning. I love that movie, specially having Geoffrey Rush as the Marquis.. such a performance!. Kate Winslet like Maddy was also excellent.
