Title: Die Marquise von Sade Lady Doriana Grey, who haunts her isolated castle, and her twin sister who has been driven insane after being institutionalised at a young age. In the mental facility, the sister is under the care of Dr. The two share a psychic connection, and along with their similar looks, they apparently have another common bond. It would seem that Doriana is unable to experience sexual satisfaction.

But this has not come without issue—German censors refused to pass the work because of the scenes of hardcore pornography contained within. The release finally hit international distribution but can only be purchased at certain online outlets. The film is often seen as a high-point for lead star Lina Romay from fans and blends the two biggest taboos sex and death in an explicit fashion. To write off Die Marquise von Sade as simply pornography for the sake of titillation is doing the work a great injustice.
