Two Women

Violette is having a difficult maternity leave. Florence is dealing with depression. Despite their careers and families, they feel like failures. Florence’s first infidelity is a revelation. When having fun is far down the list of priorities, sleeping with a delivery guy could be revolutionary.

Chloé Robichaud playfully directs screenwriter Catherine Léger’s sharp and surprising contemporary adaptation of Claude Fournier’s 1970 comedy Two Women in Gold. The filmmakers’ reimagining embraces the absurdity and fun of the women’s misadventures while detailing with clarity and empathy the unmet needs that led them there, adding poignancy to the film’s full-bodied focus on female desire.
