A nobleman with a literary flair, the Marquis de Sade lives in a madhouse where a beautiful laundry maid smuggles his erotic stories to a printer, defying orders from the asylum's resident priest. The titillating passages whip all of France into a sexual frenzy, until a fiercely conservative doctor tries to put an end to the fun.

Kind of. Not in the typical horror movie way, but it may be triggering.

There is an asylum where the mentally ill patients are tortured, including a form of waterboarding by dunking them repeatedly in water, which we see very up close.
Later, someone's tongue is cut off. We don't see the act but we see the leadup and hear screaming
