ReportSynopsis
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.

A girl of 15/16 is forced to marry a much older man, there is a scene where he rapes her after marriage, and a lot of gossip from other characters about it

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
