Visually wild and totally unhinged, this underground cult classic is not for the faint of heart.
And, as though that wasn’t enough, the Marquis’ constant companion in his grim prison cell is his oversized talking penis, which pops out of his trousers to hold long conversations with him about the state of the world.
The cast are played by real actors in specially created life-sized heads of whichever animal they are portraying: the Marquis is a cheery spaniel, the naive Justine is a heifer, the dominatrix Juliette is a mare and the head of the notorious Bastille prison is a sexually rapacious cockerel.
This truly astonishing film – loosely based on the life of the notorious Marquis de Sade – is like nothing you’ve ever seen before. The characters in the story are all animals: dogs, cows, hens, rats etc. But this is not animation.
Directed by Henri Xhonneux; France/Belgium 1989, 93 minutes. I.66:1
