(PCM) Academy Award winner Jim Broadbent (Iris, Topsy-turvy, Another Year) and Lindsay Duncan (Alice in Wonderland, Mansfield Park) give exquisite performances as Nick and Meg, a long-married British couple revisiting Paris for the first time since their honeymoon in an attempt to rekindle their relationship in Le Weekend, out in U.S. theaters starting March 14th!
During a two-day escapade, diffident, wistful Nick and demanding, take-charge Meg
careen from harmony to disharmony to resignation and back again as they take stock of
half a lifetime of deep tenderness — and even deeper regret.
A surprise invitation from Nick’s old friend Morgan (Jeff Goldblum), an amusingly boorish American academic with a fancy Parisian address, soon leads them to an unexpectedly hopeful vision of what their love and marriage might still become.
Le Weekend, the magically buoyant, bittersweet comedy drama, starring two of Britain’s national treasures, is a new peak in the ongoing collaboration between screenwriter Hanif
Kureishi and director Roger Michell, following Venus, The Mother and The Buddha of Suburbia.
Le Weekend is directed by Roger Michell, known for directing such films as Persuasion (1995), Notting Hill (1999), Changing Lanes (2002), and Morning Glory (2010).
Le Weekend has a run time of 1 hour and 33 minutes and is rated R for language and some sexual content.
Watch a trailer for the film below and head to your local theater on March 14th to see Le Weekend!
