Le Week-End
Le Week-End marks the latest collaboration between Roger Michell, his long-standing writing partner Hanif Kureishi and producer Kevin Loader (the trio also worked on Venus, The Mother and TV’s The Buddha of Suburbia).
A married couple (Jim Broadbent and Lindsay Duncan) revisit Paris to revitalise their marriage, and run into an old friend (Jeff Goldblum) who acts as a catalyst for things to come.
Le Week-End is a funny and poignant story about the nature of love and commitment where husband and wife yearn to recapture their youthful fearlessness, lack of responsibility and idealism.
Meg feels she deserves a better life, but at crucial moments we see how insecure and bereft Meg would be without her husband Nick.
Le Week-End is a delicious portrait of a marriage with all the sensitive imperfections of a life of partnership; it’s also a weekend when Nick gets to sing out loud Like a Rolling Stone in his underwear...
Michell and Loader’s Free Range Films produce the film in association with Le Bureau for Curzon Film Rights, Film4 and the BFI Film Fund.
Starring Jim Broadbent, Lindsay Duncan and Jeff Goldblum
Curzon Film World will release Le Week-End on the 11th October.
