TWO WOMEN

Opens May 15 | Winner of the Special Jury Prize at Sundance, TWO WOMEN is an irrepressible comedy about two Montreal mothers who refuse to settle for stagnant lives, and instead pursue the joy they need to feel alive and fulfilled. Adapted from risqué Quebec cult comedy TWO WOMEN IN GOLD (1970, dir. Claude Fournier), the film follows neighbors Violette and Florence as they bond over the ennui of parenthood and realize the solution to reviving their joie de vivre may be in listening to their libidos. As the two start finding sex in unexpected places, they examine the larger unfulfilled needs that brought them to their current moment, and choose to pursue a life of joy over compromise. Wonderfully layered, empathetic, sexy and fun, TWO WOMEN suggests that we all deserve experimentation, desire, and pleasure in whatever ways we can get it. Siskel Film Center exclusive.
