The Wind from Wyoming (French: Le Vent du Wyoming) is a Canadian black comedy film, directed by André Forcier and released in 1994.[1]
The film centres on a dysfunctional family whose efforts at finding and keeping love become tangled up with a stage hypnotist performing at the local hotel.[2] Daughter Léa (Sarah-Jeanne Salvy) is in unrequited love with Reo (Martin Randez), a boxer who has instead entered a relationship with her mother Lizette (France Castel), while her sister Manon (Céline Bonnier) has a crush on Chester Celine (François Cruzet), a writer she has never met, and her father Marcel (Michel Côté) remains hurt by Lizette's betrayal of him. They all enlist Albert the Great (Marc Messier) to hypnotize their respective love interests, but the effort backfires and forces them to deal with unintended consequences.[2]
