Overview

Adaptation of Peter Weiss's searing allegory of the freedom of the individual battling against the demands of society. A group of upper-class Parisians in the time of Napoleon visit the insane asylum at Charenton, where the institutionalized Marquis de Sade leads the inmates in a play he's written, which depicts the assassination of the revolutionary Jean-Paul Marat by Charlotte Corday. Film debut of Glenda Jackson.
