The trailer for Chloé Robichaud‘s Two Women, a loose remake of Claude Fournier‘s 1970 film Two Women in Gold, has just been released by Amérique Film with Icon Film Distribution.
Starring Karine Gonthier-Hyndman (Happily Married) and Laurence Leboeuf (A Family Secret), the film is a Canadian sex comedy which premiered at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival, where it went on to earn the World Cinema Dramatic Special Jury Award. The script was written by Catherine Léger, who also works as a producer.
Synopsis |Violette and Florence are two women with something in common, beyond being neighbours. While one finds herself on an emotional edge during her maternity leave, the other feels nothing at all, and neither can make sense of what’s happening to them,” the official synopsis reads. “Realising that their suburban lives have left them unfulfilled, Florence begins an affair that kicks off a sexual revolution where having fun is the top priority. But between handyman hookups, chaotic misadventures and marital strife, is reality destined to come crashing down on them?
Additional cast members include Sophie Nélisse (The Book Thief, Yellowjackets), Mani Soleymanlou (Gerry), Félix Moati (The French Dispatch) and Juliette Gariépy (Boost).
Fournier’s original film starred Monique Mercure and Louise Turcot in the central roles, with Marcel Sabourin, Donald Pilon, Yvon Deschamps and Donald Lautec also appearing. It was made on a budget of $225,000, which would be $1,819,951 in 2025, and broke $2 million at the box office despite disapproving critical reviews. Two Women in Gold also played a role in establishing Quebec’s cinema as a solid, recognisable area of filmmaking, going on to remain one of its most successful films.
Two Women comes to cinemas on 3rd April.
