Jean Paul Marat, 1743-93, Born Nuechatel, France, travelled extensivly in Britain. Gaining a medical degree at StAndrews, a supporter of Wilkes. A journalist of "L'Ami du People" a searing denunciation, of authority. 1792 became a member, of the Vigilance Commitee, responsible for Paris prisons. A Jacobin anti-Girondin, 13 July 1793, murdered by Charlotte Corday a royalist.

Charlotte Corday was not a royalist.

Concerning life and death, nature would watch if we destroyed the entire human race. Hav'nt we always crushed those weaker than us? How gentle the guillotine. Turn yourself inside out and see yourself with fresh eyes.

Daily they offer their heads to save them from boredom. Here they come who owned everything and everyone, where are they now?

Too bad the winning dialogue is ruined by this bullshit actor. If not for the content, you'd think you were listening to a satire of Shakespeare films.

Hey, have you read this play... i had to read it for a class im taking but i could not find the book.. no one in the class could... do you know alot about it? write back

[mariselaalexander]

i love this movie...

the actors are amazing

[childofmalcav]

I love the play but i can't appresiate the acting. Sade seems far to controlled. Always a problem when you see more than one person performing it.

McGee was brilliant. (Solewtion, revolewtion) !! Wonderful!. Have you seen him doing a bbc tv film of Beckett's Krapp's last tape? This guy was never given the credit for his brilliant performances. Marat/Sade is one of my favourite films, along with Genet's The Maids, in which Glenda Jackson and Susannah York are superb.

[RalphWiggum08]

I read somewhere that Krapp's Last Tape was written with him specifically in mind...

[JenniferNikole]

I meant the song regarding this that was recorded by Judy Collins.."Poor old Marat, in you we trust. You work til your eyes turn as red as rust. Just yesterday your priting press was smashed while they asked for your home address."

[JenniferNikole]

Does anyone recall this being recorded by Judy Collins? I wish someone would post her version of this from the late 60s or early 70s!!!

[Jimbo3783]

Yes, i've heard the Judy Collins clip. It's hilarious.

[Aubury]

excellent stuff

[MercyDolly]

This is absolutely superb... the writing is brilliant. I saw a very interesting rendition of this play done by a University not long ago and I've been totally enthrawled ever since. The Marquis de Sade is one of the most fastinating chracters I have yet to see in any story.

[FLHTP07]

Written in the 1930's by a German about the French Revolution of the 1790's and performed by lunatics. It is a masterpiece.

[bohemiastudios]

Revolutonary drama, played in the 1960s.

[Stereolabdream]

Oh when when when will this film be released on DVD in the UK?

[Congest]

A great movie.

[MickBarn]

Absolutely great acting.
