With this third film we embark into arguable greatness. It’s a lovely
little British romantic comedy – not to be mistaken with traditional
“romcoms”, which seem to be a genre of their own these days, and often
carry negative connotations … but I digress.
It’s Roger Michell’s Le Week-End. In the vein of ’80s Woody Allen
and Linklater’s “Before” trilogy, we follow Nick (Jim Broadbent) and Meg
Burrows (Lindsay Duncan) as they return to Paris for their 30th
anniversary in order to relive their honeymoon and rekindle the fiery
passion that was once there. Within the first few minutes, we see that
the fire dwindled long ago.
