THE PUNISHMENT (France, 1973)
Britt (played by Karin Schubert) is a high-class Paris escort, pimped out by her older girlfriend, Francoise. After being abused by a client, Britt rebels. Well-connected vice lord Manuel takes her to a seedy hotel in Lyon in the south of France. There she is locked in an empty room and forced to take part in a series of bizarre acts inflicted on her by a procession of Manuel’s clients. Raymond, Manuel’s second in command, begins to take pity on Britt and returns to Paris with her. But events there take an even more dangerous turn and Britt and Raymond have to flee for their lives.
A shocking and provocative film based on a true story, THE PUNISHMENT was a controversial film on its initial release and continues to provoke and challenge viewers today.
