This film can be considered a third chapter in respect to the previous pictures: the 1963 20-episode "I mostri" (Opiate '67) directed by Dino Risi and the 1977 14-episode "I nuovi mostri" (The New Monsters) directed by Dino Risi, Mario Monicelli and Ettore Scola. In this film, as in the previous two, the many vices, weaknesses and fears in contemporary Italy are parodied in 16 different episodes; the years pass, the decades pass, but the defects with which Italy is afflicted are always the same. Here they are illustrated in episodes that are comical, bitter, grotesque, striking: cynicism, greed, indifference, false conformism, and despicable behaviour, conceit and so on... Starring Diego Abatantuono, Sabrina Ferilli, Giorgio Panariello, Claudio Bisio, Angela Finocchiaro, and Carlo Buccirosso.

Diesen Satz muß sich ausgerechnet Daniel, der Idealist anhören, einer, der um seine Mitmenschen kämpft. Die Schule, die er leitet, steht in einer nicht gerade privilegierten Gegend im Norden Frankreichs. Dort ist dieArbeitslosigkeit extrem hoch und das gesellschaftliche Grundgerüst wird nur provisorisch aufrechterhalten. Die Frauen von der Fürsorge stellen ärztliche Diagnosen, weil keine Ärzte zur Verfügung stehen; Polizisten halten Halbstarken ausgedehnte Moralpredigten, weil es sonst keiner tut; und der Schuldirektor verrichtet nach Feierabend Sozialarbeiterdienste.

DER Klassiker unter den Erotik Spielfilmen! Erstmals in der digital bearbeiteten uncut FSK 18 Fassung (TV Synchro von VOX)! | Mit den Topstars John Rhys-Davies (Indiana Jones, Der Herr der Ringe), Nick Mancuso (Alarmstufe Rot, Today you Die) | INHALT: Paris im Juni 1789: Frankreich steht kurz vor der Revolution als Inspector Marais (John Rhys Davies) den aristokratischen Schriftsteller Marquis de Sade (Nick Mancuso) in einem Bordell verhaftet. Die Vorwürfe lauten: Entführung, Unzucht und Mord. Unter anderem soll er mehrere Prostituierte auf grausamste Art und Weise ermordet haben. Richter de Bory (Aleksandr Belyavsky) verurteilt de Sade zum Tod durch die Guillotine. Die Hinrichtung soll in fünf Tagen stattfinden. Während der Marquis in der Bastille auf seine Vollstreckung wartet, schreibt er mit seinem eigenen Blut als Tinte die Geschichte seines ausschweifenden Lebens nieder. Zur gleichen Zeit trifft die junge, aus gutem Hause stammende Justine (Janet Gunn) in Paris ein, um nach ihrer verschwundenen Schwester Juliette (Charlotte Nielsen) zu suchen, die zuletzt in Begleitung von de Sade gesehen wurde. Nachdem sie die Wachen bestochen hat, wird Justine zum Marquis vorgelassen. Sie erhofft sich vom Marquis Hinweise, der ihr daraufhin von seinem wilden Leben erzählt, das er größtenteils in Bordellen und mit schriftstellerischen Tätigkeiten verbrachte. Er erzählt Justine nach und nach die Geschichte seines Lebens: Von der aus finanziellen Gründen eingegangenen Ehe mit Madame de Montreuil, seinen nächtlichen Bordellbesuchen und seiner Lust an der Erniedrigung anderer. Justine verfällt immer mehr dem verführerischen Charme und den Fantasien des faszinierenden Mannes. Aber die Zeit, die zur Rettung Juliets bleibt, wird knapp | Für alle Fans von "Moulin Rouge", "Marie Antoinette" oder "Im Reich der Sinne"!
