Actress, writer and director Mélanie Laurent brings her adapted screenplay “The Mad Women’s Ball”, based on the novel Le bal des folles by Victoria Mas, to the Toronto International Film Festival.

Laurent talks about what initially drew her to create the adapted screenplay, telling ET Canada she was “obsessed” with the book by Mas: “I was working on the beginning of a script about the witches in the middle age and that producer called me and told me about the book.” She says she found Mas’ novel “so amazingly structured and everything was there already in the book.” Laurent explains that her script on the witches had similar underlying subjects: “You find exactly the same kind of horrifying story about women.” RELATED: Kristen Stewart Felt
