Le Week-End

Winner of Best Film in the 2013 British Film Awards

A marriage in turmoil is rekindled on a Paris honeymoon. Academy Award Winner Jim Broadbent (Iris, Topsy-Turvy, Another Year), Lindsay Duncan (About Time, Alice in Wonderland, Mansfield Park) and Jeff Goldblum (Jurassic Park, Independence Day) star in Roger Michell’s Le Week-End. “Comedy and tragedy wear the same mask in the city that best represents romantic love,” says Cole Smithey from ColeSmithey.com. “Just as with Paris, you’ll want to revisit Le Week-End.”
