120 Days of Sodom

120 Days of Sodom refers to two closely related but clearly distinct works: the 18th-century book Les 120 Journées de Sodome by Marquis de Sade and the film Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom by Pier Paolo Pasolini. Within the BDSM context, the film is almost always referred to, while the book has mainly historical and philosophical significance.
