Q&A: Mélanie Laurent on her love of directing and actresses

Associated Press  

Over the past decade, Mélanie Laurent has established herself as an accomplished film director. Her latest film, an adaptation of Victoria Mas’ 2019 novel “The Mad Women’s Ball,” is being made more widely available than any of her previous films, thanks to the reach of Amazon Prime Video. Laurent: I just had my baby girl and I was asking myself, “What’s next?” I really wanted to make a powerful movie with a woman. It’s about science, it’s about death, relationships, love, friendship.” AP: Lou de Laâge starred in your second film “Breathe.” Why did you go back to her for this? AP: It does seem like there’s a double standard for beautiful actresses who also direct, like when some dismissed “By the Sea” as a vanity project for Angelina Jolie.
