I know we just saw the March film a few days ago, but April is
fast approaching and a movie I think most of us would really enjoy just
arrived in Toronto. If you can wait to see it until Tuesday, April 1,
please do so.
It is
Le Weekend, an English comedy about an empty-next couple
who revisit Paris, where they honeymooned long ago. Below are a
synopsis and trailer.
Le Weekend is playing at the Varsity, but I'll have to let you know the time to meet later on.
Movie Info
In Mr. Michell's magically buoyant and bittersweet film, Jim
Broadbent and Lindsay Duncan play a long-married couple who revisit
Paris for a long weekend for the first time since their honeymoon, in
hopes of rekindling their relationship-or, perhaps, to bring it to an
end. Diffident, wistful Nick (Broadbent) and demanding, take-charge Meg
(Duncan) careen from harmony to disharmony to resignation and back again
as they take stock and grapple with love, loss, regret and,
disappointment, in their
own very English way.
When Meg and Nick run into their insufferably successful old friend
Morgan, an American academic superstar with a fancy Parisian address
played with pure delight by Jeff Goldblum, their squabbles rise to a
register that's both emotionally rich and very funny.
