Le Week-End (2013)
Country: GB/FR
Technical: col/2.35:1 93m
Director: Roger Michell
Cast: Lindsay Duncan, Jim Broadbent, Jeff Goldblum
Synopsis:
A couple of retiring teachers travel from Birmingham to Paris for an anniversary weekend, causing festering irritations to rise to the surface and some home truths to be uttered. Is it the end of their marriage, or just a change of direction?
Review:
Hanif Kureishi's screenplay performs some neat somersaults in expectations, introducing the odd Goldblum character as it were as a catalyst for the action, which ends almost arbitrarily with its genteel re-enactment of the Degas painting, L'Absinthe, and the dance number in Bande à part. One finishes up peculiarly unconvinced.
