Criticism
" From de Sade's novels patched together, into the negative perverted tearjerker. "
" The playing before the French Revolution film ( ... ) mitigates the details, but also the controversial trend of the original book in favor of a detailed mixed costume film, which, despite occasional artificial traits clearly inspired by the instantaneous " Sado - wave ". The result deserves neither strict rejection even literary interest. "
