Marquis

A bizarre tale of sex, lust, and the French Revolution

198983 min6.5 / 10

A surreal, sexually provocative puppet comedy that uses grotesque anthropomorphism and historical satire to explore depravity, artistic freedom, and revolutionary ideology.

On the eve of revolution, French activist and author Marquis and his talking penis, Colin, await judgment in the Bastille for allegedly plotting against the state. While Marquis dedicates himself to his art and Colin longs for action, the provocative pair unwittingly rouse the interest of competing ideological factions.
