Fictional works
Sade's life and works have been the subject of numerous fictional plays, films, pornographic or erotic drawings, etchings, etc., and other works. These include Peter Weiss's play Marat/Sade a fantasia extrapolating from the fact that Sade directed plays performed by his fellow inmates at the Charenton asylum. Yukio Mishima, Barry Yzereef, and Doug Wright also wrote plays about Sade; Weiss's and Wright's plays have been made into films. His work is referenced on film at least as early as the Luis Buñuel/Salvador Dalí film L'Age d'Or (1930), the final segment of which provides a coda to Sade's The 120 Days of Sodom, with the four debauched noblemen emerging from their mountain retreat. Pier Paolo Pasolini filmed Salo, or the 120 Days of Sodom (1975), updating Sade's novel to Fascist Italy; Sade (directed by Benoit Jacquot) and Quills (2000 directed by Philip Kaufman based on Wright's play) both hit the cinemas in 2000; several horror films have used Sade as a major character. He is referenced in several stories by science fiction writer Robert Bloch, and Polish science fiction author Stanislaw Lem wrote an essay analyzing game-theoretical arguments that appear in Sade's novel Justine.
The 2000 movie 'Quills' gives a fictional account of his last years at Charenton, its cast including Geoffrey Rush as De Sade, Kate Winslet as his chambermaid, Madeleine, and Joaquin Phoenix as the Abbé de Coulmier.
