Philip Kaufmanís movie about the Marquis De Sade (Geoffrey Rush) is high on relevance but low on factual accuracy.

Most of the movie was shot in the studio at Pinewood, where the ëCharenton Asylumí was built.

The exterior of the asylum, albeit tricked out with a little Frenchified set dressing, is Luton Hoo, Luton in Bedfordshire, north of London. A veteran of the screen, this one-time staely home has appeared in Four Weddings and a Funeral, Eyes Wide Shut, Wilde, the first Pink Panther sequel A Shot in the Dark, renegade Bond movie Never Say Never Again among many others.

Street exteriors were filmed in Oxford, and the ëPalace of Versaillesí is the Great Hall of the Royal Naval College, Greenwich, a familiar location seen in The Madness of King George, The Avengers, Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and Michael Winnerís 1983 remake of The Wicked Lady.
