Quills
Quills has an amazing star cast of Geoffrey Rush, Joaquin Phoenix and Kate Winslet- all of whom have done a wonderful job at portraying the characters assigned to them.
The movie is based on Marquis de Sade, the man on whom the word sadism is founded. The man is rather reprehensible, despite having an undeniably strong spirit and reckless tenacity.
