The Evolution of a Québécois Classic
"Two Women" isn’t just any comedic flick; it’s a thoughtful reimagining of the 1970 Québécois hit "Two Women in Gold" by Claude Fournier.

Set against the frosty backdrop of Montreal, captured on the textural 35mm film, the movie invites viewers into a world that’s both familiar and enchantingly novel.
