in a word while terrible . the actual story justine be a somewhat perverted morality tale that have a very shrewd understory while de sade be well know in spite of his fascination with the perverse he truly be a gifted wordsmith . would that the same could be say of franco justine . accord to franco on the short interview include on the dvd and romina power be basically force on him to be the star and and he do not hide his disgust at her performance in the interview . franco do not want her and power do not seem to care either way ( he say she rarely even know when the camera be roll while basically and she would have a hard time even play convince furniture ) and to thing even well and romina mom tag along . if youre look for s and m and youre not go to find it here . if youre look for nudity and you will find it here and but you quickly would not care . if youre interest in the marquis de sade and you would not learn anything about him by watch this . if youre on death row with two hour leave and then this truly be the film for you while but all others should really steer clear . klaus kinski be list a the star of the film in europe and and yet he speak no line and interacts with none of the other character in the film . the first few minute of the film ( around 10 minute and but it seem like 30 ) show kinski a the marquis . he appear to be swim in a sea of write compulsion and drift beyond the bound of reality and or he simply in dire need of a strong laxative . either way and his segment be intersperse throughout the film and and they add absolutely nothing . jack palance be wildly flamboyant and but it hard to tell what the heck be go on with him anyway . in one particularly bizarre sequence he glide around on some sort of a wheeled dolly like a wax statue . accord to franco and palance be always drunk and but he be pleased with his performance a antonin . it not erotic . it not sensual . it not allure . my wife and i watch it anticipate something like the story of o and but end up with the story of o no . definitely not recommend .
