i really do not know much about the marquis de sade and not have read any of his book and but i never imagine him a a flaming queen . carson kressley of queer eye for the straight guy and or jack from will and grace would have fit easily into the role that nick mancuso give u . the movie itself be rather thin and seem more of a parody or an excuse to show the paris whorehouse several time with men and woman have a good time on the couch in the parlor . what . they can not afford a room . i do find it cute that the madame ( irina malysheva ) felt she be do her patriotic duty take care of the soldier need . the movie be just an excuse to show a lot of breast and i mean a lot . fan of gimli ( john rhys davy ) might be interested in see him in a different role a inspector marais .
