Watching this while eating croissants really amplifies the overall experience of this great documentary

How was a nobelman sent to prison with only a prostitute as a witness, he must have been extremley disliked by the court.

Experts now see his book as an Allegory rather than actual promotions of the acts?! Um....did these "Experts" even bother to look at his arrest records? I mean if the guy had never practiced Sexual Sadism, I would agree, but the fact that he was arrested multiple times, accused by multiple people. I mean come on, sometimes a sexual sadist is just a sexual sadist.

y’all have the best narrator/voice hands down never change

[tuckerprice]

The fact that de Sade actually committed the depraved acts from his stories means the stories were almost certainly promoting the acts in a literal sense.

The narrator did an excellent job narrating this story of Marquis de Sade and pronouncing the French words correctly. I am impressed as to how well his pronunciation is, and your entire narration was superb.

Congratulations to you, Sir, on a fantastic job. I liked this story as I am a student of the French language myself and love languages. A very interesting story with so many twists and turns. Love biographies especially ancient biographies as ancient history is my favorite subject of all times.

Thank you for sharing this video, it is absolutely fascinating 🙌👍👏♥️

I was about 15 years old when I read Sade for the first time. Speechless is not strong enough to describe the state the book has put me into. I couldn't stop wondering why it is considered to be literature and not just pornography. Then I was told about his "grateness" and that is a punch to the stomach to society's hypocrisy etc, etc....OK! Even so, one book like that would be enough; he could take another route, he had the talent to do so. Sarcasm, criticism and so forth can be established with so many ways. In my humble opinion, he was just describing his fantasies. As for the critics for the movies, "masterpiece" was one of the terms used and it just added to my belief that those who "judge" movies, get exited by whatever they don't comprehend. As I have already said, just my humble opinion.

A sadist was talking to a masochist. "Hit me! Hit me!" said the masochist. The sadist paused for a moment, and then said, "No".

His skull is still missing. The 1965 horror movie, "The Skull" is about the skull of the Marquis De Sade, which was haunted. Perfect movie for Halloween.

I love these documentaries. Thankyou for putting them up free for us to watch. I regrettably have missed many I still didn’t go back and re watch as the narrators voice is quite conducive for sleeping.

"Lewd acts involving 'The fundamental orifice'... "?🤔
I got a pretty good chuckle out of that line.

[bravosierra]

Thank you for spoiling us with so many interesting profiles lately.

Can you please do one on The Brothers Grimm?

[JaynaeMarieXIV]

I think this one and the one about Casanova are my favorites so far. I am addicted to the channel. These are the greatest things to binge-watch.

How many know that De Sade's second forename was not Alphonse? In fact it was ALDONSE. This name was a "peculiarity", a local name in his father's Province.. People - Critics, Authorities and others probably thought it was a "miss-read" and so substituted the nearest they could imagine - hence "Alphonse".

120 days of sodom has all the tropes of a porn book, in all the worst ways. I am convinced that he was fantasizing about what he wished to do if he had the necessary influence, not criticize the french society

"The man known in history as..." is becoming iconic in 5 years.

[arcofspira]

It's such a thrill to get a notification that People Profiles released another superb documentary

[yaoruiz]

Descendant of royalty. Abused as a child. Maybe he wanted to leave his mark in history by consciously or unconsciously revealing the causes of his degeneration?

[tazandalsoalastname]

"...ropes, horsewhips and candle wax..." Don't threaten me with a good time 😁

[jenniferacrey]

His vile writings are not an allegory. He lived a life very similar to his fictional crimes. When a person tells you who they are, believe them.
