Les Films Seville has released an outstanding trailer for
Denys Arcand’s upcoming film Le règne de
la beauté (The Reign of Beauty).
The film, previously titled Two Nights,
sees Canada’s Oscar winner for The
Barbarian Invasions return with his Invasions
star Marie-Josée Croze in what looks like an intriguing infidelity drama. The NFSW
trailer hints at Arcand’s signature musings on love, sex, and all things
Québécois set amidst a bilingual love triangle that spirals out of control. The Reign of Beauty is presumably
Cannes-bound, but Les Films Seville notes its Quebec release as expected for
this Spring. (The release for the rest of Canada is TBA.) Maybe the rest of us
will have to wait until TIFF if Arcand will be repping Canada at the Oscars
once again? Either way, this film looks quite promising! (Hat tip to the Film Circuit for sharing it!)
