Heyyy, Pulp, doesn't your friend love Salo? Is that where you got the idea from.

You are correct, sir.
Salo is a film version of the Marques de Sade's The 120 Days of Sodom, which is quite possibly one of the nastiest things I've ever read. I think the director took the basic idea and added whatever politics he did (very anti-fascits, I've heard).
Here's eight billion Internet kudos/eprops or whatever they are, frankenjohn, for being so damn smart!

Damn that was a long shot. Guessed that one would be the most rarest Criterion..
ok, time for someone to gain an easy point. ;D
This author, on whose novel this movie is based, committed suicide two weeks after the movie went into production. The director contemplated abandoning the project, but decided the film would make a good memorial for the author. Which Author am I referring to?

Not Hunter S. Thompson, Ernest Hemingway or Robert Heinlein.
Time for a hint I guess.
The way this author killed himself.. well.. it took time, days in fact to do so. The decade in which this author passed was the 90's.
I think I just gave it away..

Sybillness is correct about the film & I misleaded you guys with that hint technically, so Sybillness gets this.
"John O'Brien didn't have to research alcoholism when writing Leaving Las Vegas, he lived it. A heavy drinker for most of his adult life, O'Brian, like his main character Ben, struggled greatly with the disease. Though the film was a great success both comercially and critically, and O'Brian was commissioned to begin a new screenplay, the author took his life on April 13th 1994, just 2 weeks after he learned that his book was being made into a film. He was 33 years old."
Your up Sybillness.

And who says they don't do it for the money?! What role did actor Sean Penn take "just for the money" so that he could finance his own film THE CROSSING GUARD? There's your hint!
