Welcome to Paris in 1885, when the outcasts - autistic, Down's syndrome, psychics, rape victims - were still sent automatically to the Salpêtrière, a large Parisian hospital for women run by the great professor Charcot. These fates of women to hide were told by Victoria Mas in 2019 in her novel Le bal des folles, now adapted for the screen by Mélanie Laurent and available on September 17 on Prime Video for her very first French production. And it's a must-see to put #metoo and the history of male domination into perspective.
