A wedding brings together two families who share a language, but not the same customs. Maudits Français !, the comedy from Émile Gaudreault, will arrive in French cinemas on 24 February 2027, distributed by StudioCanal.
The film pits the Estaing de la Motte, a French family rooted in tradition, against the Bouchards, newcomers from Quebec bringing a different worldview. Gathered to celebrate their children, the two clans must navigate the misunderstandings and cultural gaps that surface during the wedding preparations.
Lambert Wilson, Suzanne Jouannet, Thierry Lhermitte, Anne Consigny and Laura Laune are featured in the French cast. The Quebec lineup includes notably Patrick Huard, Antoine Bertrand, Sandrine Bisson, Pier-Luc Funk and Pierrette Robitaille. Émile Gaudreault co-writes the screenplay with Guy Laurent.
This family comedy was filmed in Canada and in the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region. The regional co-producer notes that the French shooting took place in Savoie and in Fareins, in the Ain department, in autumn 2025. The Franco-Québécois collaboration threads through the story as much as through the making of the film.
