It's based on a De Sade novel. Martyr for free speech? Yes. Literary genius? Hardly. An updating of a De Sade novel keeping with the original intent of a De Sade novel is not going to create a masterpiece. The biggest gorehound I know rented this hoping for a taboo thrill, and couldn't even get to the end of it. Taboos are pointless if they're not done in a stimulating fashion.
