This French made for television film is the true story of Marion du Faouët (played by actress Carole Richert) who was publicly whipped and then branded for being a thief. After being tied AOH to the whipping post, she is lashed 5 times until her back is striped. If that wasn’t intense enough, immediately afterward the branding iron comes out. She is branded on the shoulder with a V (French for “thief”) and collapses in pain. Richert really sells the scene with her pained facial expressions.
