Justine de Sade

About This Movie

Justine de Sade is a challenging 1972 drama directed by Claude Pierson that dives deep into themes of innocence lost and the darker sides of human nature. The film centers on Therese, a naive young girl whose journey through degradation is both disturbing and oddly fascinating. The pacing can be uneven, which might throw some viewers off, but it definitely adds to the unsettling atmosphere. The practical effects aren’t over-the-top, but they serve the film’s gritty aesthetic well. Performances, especially from the lead, carry a weight that’s hard to shake. It's not exactly for everyone, but if you're into exploring the more provocative corners of cinema, this one has a certain raw honesty that can be striking.

Deep dive into the extremes of human nature. · Uneven pacing that enhances discomfort. · Not just a film, but a conversation starter.
