Marquis de Sade is a 1996 American film about Marquis de Sade. It was part financed by Roger Corman (who had done some uncredited directing on a 1969 biopic of de Sade) and screened on Roger Corman Presents.
It is also known as Dark Prince: Intimate Tales of Marquis de Sade.
The film was shot in Moscow.
A woman, Justine, searches for her lost sister, Juliette, and encounters the Marquis se Sade.
According to one academic, the film gives a more sympathetic depiction of de Sade than usual, presenting him "as a roguish, swashbuckling anti-hero; a red-blooded, flamboyant and slightly ridiculous epicurean, whose pleasures are curtailed by his incarceration in the Bastille, facilitated by his outraged mother-in-law... He is presented as a Three Musketeers-style hero."
Psychotronic Video said "Mancuso is too good for this project and has lots of (too much actually) dialog."
