Toutes pour une: a modern feminist comedy by Houda Benyamina

Director Houda Benyamina, best known for her multi-award-winning film Divines, returns with Toutes pour une. This feministadventure-comedy revisits the literary classic Les Trois Mousquetaires with a bold, modern approach. The script, by Juliette Sales and Fabien Suarez, plunges us into period France, where Sara, a young girl on the run, discovers that the famous Musketeers are actually women. Fascinated by their courage and independence, she decides to join them in their quest for freedom.

The cast includes Oulaya Amamra, revealed in Divines, alongside Sabrina Ouazani and Déborah Lukumuena, who each bring their energy and charisma to this iconoclastic reinterpretation of an adventure story.

This film will appeal above all to fans of revisited adventure stories, but also to those who appreciate engaged, modern works. With its feminist and emancipatory tone, it could appeal to a wide audience, from viewers looking for reimagined historical narratives to fans of light comedy, while carrying a strong message about identity and freedom.

Audiences who have enjoyed films such as Mulan (2020) or series such as Les Brigades du Tigre revisited from a feminist perspective may also appreciate this panache-filled reinterpretation. However, purists of The Three Musketeers may be put off by this bold reinterpretation, which departs from the original material.

The film marks a new collaboration between Houda Benyamina and Oulaya Amamra after Divines, which explored themes of rebellion and the quest for self. The choice of approaching The Three Musketeers from an exclusively female angle adds a contemporary touch to this well-known adventure tale, while offering an opportunity to question gendered representations in classic narratives.

With Toutes pour une, Houda Benyamina offers an original and daring retelling of a literary classic, supported by a solid cast and a resolutely modern message. This adventure film has the potential to appeal as much for its humor as for its feminist message.
