De Sade Triple Threat (11/27)

 (Virtual) (Doors open 8pm EST-1am EST)

Few names send fear or horror through the minds of the literary community than the disturbing works of writer Marquis De Sade, who’s writings are not only studied by psychologists & helped spawn the term “Sadism”, but were made even more disturbing by the implications surrounding his eventual arrest for actions mirroring the controversial books he wrote.

From the shocking 120 Days Of Sodom, Pasolini’s most gut wrenching work, much of De Sade’s writings & personal life has been the subjects of cinema, & tonite’s virtual triple threat packs 3 of the most fascinating adaptations of his work, released across underground & arthouse cinemas, while generating public outcry & morbid curiosity wherever they screened!

First, we’ve got the works of De Sade manifested in macabre, sometimes phallic puppets, produced by the same team behind the French animated masterpiece Fantastic Planet”. Next up, we’ve got an underground film based on a play that fictionalizes accounts of De Sade’s life in prison, putting on a play that re-enacts parts of his life in a metaphysical experience. The final film is a British erotic thriller that played much of the midnight movie theaters in the 60’s, that manifests the dark energy of De Sade’s work & lore into an experimental experience you need to se

Doors open at 8pm EST @ the Write Brain Theater.
