Clémence Bretécher is playing a character named Saskia Jones, who is interrogated bound and nude in French film Le Serpent aux mille coupures (Thousand cuts, 2017).
Consider yourself warned that near the end the scene descends into (simulated but vivid) gore.

This scene remind me another movie called "Chaos" (I think). Not the one with Jason Statham, but older, where there is also this kind of gore scene. Maybe I have some pics of it. Let's go back in my archives!

Barbaren (2020)
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9184986/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1
Very fitting in its setting for this forum, Barbaren retells the accounts around the Battle of the Teutoburg Forest in 9 A.D., which led to one of the most disastrous Roman defeats in history and stopped the Empire‘s expansion into the north for good.
During the reign of Emperor Augustus the Roman cavalry officer Arminius returns to his Germanic homelands to support governor Publius Quinctilius Varus. Son of a tribal chieftain, Arminius had in young years been given to Rome as a hostage to ensure the peace. Facing the brutality of Roman occupation, he falls into a grinding nature vs nurture conflict, in which conclusion he leads the tribes against their oppressors.
Influential to this is Thusnelda (Jeanne Goursaud), who does not only witness her fellow tribesmen and -women being crucified for insurrection, but is to be married to a rivalling chieftain against her will.
The series’ most striking feature is its consequent sticking to the language barrier. The Italian actors as Romans speak Latin, the German actors as Germanic people speak modern High German as a substitute to the ancient dialects or are dubbed for foreign audiences. I’ve watched some episodes in the well-done English dubbing. The German original, however, suffers from heavy-handed dialogues and an inconsistency in tone which has trouble deciding between colloquial and epic.
Production value ranges from luke-warm to decent. Especially Roman armour and the Germanic settlements do look authentic. On the other hand, there hasn’t been enough in the budget for a single establishment shot of ancient Rome during Arminius’ flashback scenes.
And for the history buffs amongst us:
The amount of historical details being butchered is almost as high as that of Roman legionnaires. All key characters, with the exception of the warrior Folkwin, can be found in records. But Arminius was most certainly not the adopted son of Varus. In my quick search on this topic I could not even find any hints that they had known each other before Germania. Many events had been streamlined to fit into the show’s format and the audience’s expectations. This also concerns the battle itself, which in reality had taken place over the course of several days, but is compressed to twenty minutes of screen time. On the upside, although stylised in its own way, it spares the viewer any choreographic BS. Just horned berserks and half-naked shield maidens going ape-shit on increasingly disintegrating Roman lines. And chieftains feasting on Roman testicles (I kid you not).
Many more inaccuracies could be named, such as the tree lines being far too close to the Roman summer camp, thus supporting hidden approach. To be fair, the creators also incorporated a number of elements into their show which may resonate well with those familiar with the matter: There is the importance of the eagle standards to their respective legions, or the replica of the Roman face mask found at the assumed site of battle, which is featured in two key scenes. Several warriors can be spotted wearing their hair in a Suebian knot. And in the final shot we see the head of Varus being delivered by a horseman to whomever it may concern.

A pretty solid water torture scene. The show itself has porn-level (heh) acting, but one of the benefits of indie movies with reasonably large budgets is the director can really go all-out with his/her fantasies.

This is a scene from the brand-new Filipino movie "Kaliwaan" (2022) - similar idea to the "Thousand Cuts" scene posted by @TomiRex a few days ago, but considerably more gory. Once again we have some shady gangster types torture a naked woman in a warehouse with a knife and various other sharp implements. This one is already in poor shape at the start of the scene.
The IMDb synopsis to the movie is "When Boogie learns that Monica cheated on him, his cop brother plans to kill her. But as Monica reveals she's pregnant with his baby, it's a race against time to stop his brother." I haven't seen the entire movie but I think this may be the opening scene intended to show that the main baddie (Boogie's cop brother) means business to increase the threat level to Monica.

Chantal Demming in "Caged" (2011)
Stella is kidnapped and wakes up in an abandoned basement. Every now and then, she is taken to another room where she is tied to a table, naked. Mysterious persons wearing masks come in and sexually assault her in various ways. There is also a second table next to her, holding all kinds of vile looking tools. While Stella being tortured with those tools is never actually shown on screen, the fear of them makes her piss herself. Whenever her abusers are done with her, they dump her in her basement cell again. At least, they leave a bag with her clothes.

Its a pair of fantastic scenes. There are earlier scenes where she's portraying a bored housewife that turns to escort work for excitement, and a sauna scene with a lady friend where both are nude and they get to chatting about her escort work. As a movie, it's worth a watch for the storytelling, and really adds dramatic punch to these two scenes.

The sauna scene you mentioned is quite remarkable, I agree with you on that
But to be honest, the thing that kept me watching the movie to the end was the obvious: the many pretty actresses who took off their clothes for the camera. I wasn't that impressed with the plot and found it quite predictable. I even correctly guessed the big twist at the end about halfway through the movie.

"Caged" (2011), continued again
After a couple of days in captivity, Stella gets a companion: Christine (Babette Holtmann), who is also being held captive and taken away for torture every now and then. While the two women try to figure out the reason behind their ordeal, they also support each other when they are returned from the torture chamber.

I remember this movie being discussed in a forum, but I can't recall the title nor the forum. The basic plot is that a woman is kidnapped to become a pain slave in order to help the man get ready for sex with his wife, and the wife goes along with it because she wants to have a baby or something. Do you know what the title is? The video clip you posted looks fantastic!

The Ward (2010)
A mentally troubled girl (convincingly played by Amber Heard) is institutionalised after showing destructive behaviour. When she makes allegations to be physically attacked by a strange entity, but fails to deliver any proof, she gets the special treatment to cure her from her delusions. But soon more mysterious incidents occur within the eponymous ward.
The electro sessions are showcased as the film’s highlights and indeed transport a certain intensity, although (or because) their display has little in common with the real procedure. Naturally we have a straightjacket scene – sadly the heroine wears the cosy item over her normal clothes.
The jury is still out on whether The Ward is director John Carpenter’s most mediocre flick. Most definitely it is a generic vengeful ghost story, containing exactly what it says on the box: electric shock treatment, creepy orderlies, forced pill swallowing, amateur lobotomy and flexible medical work ethic.

One of my favorite actresses from Classic Hollywood. But, my favorite of all is without a doubt, Marilyn Monroe.A classic story (1947) with Yvonne DeCarlo as "Slavegirl". An American adventurer goes to Tripoli to rescue some kidnapped sailors, but gets involved with a beautiful slave girl.

Below are the most daring pics of her.
