The Mad Womens Ball (2021)

"The Mad Women's Ball" is a French period drama set inside a Parisian asylum in the 1880s. It explores the fraught line between defiance and diagnosis for women deemed unfit for society. Lou De Laage anchors the film with a performance that lingers between vulnerability and quiet rebellion. Coralie Russier rounds out the cast in a story built on restraint rather than spectacle. The archive holds just one nude scene clip from the film. It's a brief but exposing bit of footage that fits the story's unflinching look at the body and control. Fans searching for De Laage's rawest on-screen work will find this hub a fitting, if compact, starting point.
