abstract:De Sade (German title:Das Ausschweifende Leben des Marquis De Sade) is an American-German 1969 drama film starring Keir Dullea and Senta Berger. It is based on the life of Donatien Alphonse François, Marquis de Sade, named Louis Alphonse Donatien in the film.
In the lower-right corner, and executed with a far more circumspect touch, a likely portrait of the Marquis deSade underscores the disturbing import of the apparition above.
