I read, therefore I'm interested in writers.
From Philip Kaufman
The truth is, I'm drawn to all kinds of things.
And I liked this extreme character of de Sade.
It just seemed to me to be a great story, set back in its time but something that seemed to have relevance for our time. Now that the film is coming out, it looks like we're back in another time where repression of expression is all the rage.
The danger is not so much in the economic structure of a society but in its intellectual structure.
What's really interesting about that is that a lot of these words that were incendiary in their time now seem almost harmless and laughable, because they have this archaic quality.
Whereas European films have traditionally been able to go into adult relationships. I think there's a huge audience in America for those kinds of films.
