April Outing: Le Weekend

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.
