If you loved Breathe, try The Mad Women's Ball

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Mélanie Laurent, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Breathe, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The Mad Women's Ball is

Paris, 1885. Winter dusk. A dropped glove. A privileged woman, wrongly committed to the La Pitié Salpêtrière asylum, plans an escape. Her only help is a sympathetic nurse, haunted by her own ghosts. A minor key of early Polanski.
