Wiek XVIII. Markiz de Sade trzymany jest w zakładzie dla obłąkanych. Wciąż pisze, a jego rękopisy przemyca na zewnątrz młoda praczka, Madeleine Leclerc. Nowa powieść szalonego pisarza, "Justyna", wprawia we wściekłość samego Napoleona. By położyć kres dalszej pisaninie, przyszły cesarz wysyła do zakładu lekarza, a jednocześnie specjalistę od wyrafinowanych tortur, doktora Royer-Collarda. (Polsat)

Quills is brilliant in its visual aspect and acting, but inconsistent in its content. Cynicism and provocation conflict with dramatic romance and the credibility of the relationships. Mixed feelings from a haphazardly mixed cocktail. The filmmakers apparently thought that this contradictory content would ensure that controversy would inevitiably arise around the film. Maybe they succeeded in that, but it didn’t make Quills any better.

I was looking forward to a big acting clash between Geoffrey Rush and Michael Caine, yet, there is so little of Caine's character in Quills that there was no battle and the film became Rush's entitled exhibition. He's great - just like Kate Winslet. However, the rest of the film is quite awkward and even kind of boring towards the end, which surprised me.
