The Mad Whale

Inmates at a women's mental asylum stage their own theatrical production of Herman Melville's 'Moby Dick.'

My take

A haunting blend of theatrical ambition and psychological fragility. Watch inmates transform Melville's epic into something raw and cathartic—a story about reclaiming power through performance, for those drawn to unconventional, emotionally intense cinema.
