Written by Hanif Kureishi (Venus, The Mother)
Directed by Roger Michell (Notting Hill, The Buddha of Suburbia)
Starring Jim Broadbent (Cloud Atlas, Another Year), Lindsay Duncan (Mansfield Park, About Time) and Jeff Goldblum
Academy Award winner Jim Broadbent (IRIS, TOPSY-TURVY, ANOTHER
YEAR) and Lindsay Duncan (the forthcoming ABOUT TIME, ALICE IN
WONDERLAND, MANSFIELD PARK) give exquisite performances as Nick and Meg,
a long-married British couple revisiting Paris for the
first time since their honeymoon in an attempt to rekindle their
relationship.
During a two-day escapade, diffident, wistful Nick and demanding,
take-charge Meg careen from harmony to disharmony to resignation and
back again as they take stock of half a lifetime of deep tenderness --
and even deeper regret. A surprise invitation
from Nick’s old friend Morgan (Jeff Goldblum), an amusingly boorish
American academic with a fancy Parisian address, soon leads them to an
unexpectedly hopeful vision of what their love and marriage might still
become.
This magically buoyant, bittersweet comedy drama, starring two of
Britain’s national treasures, is a new peak in the ongoing collaboration
between screenwriter Hanif Kureishi and director Roger Michell,
following VENUS, THE MOTHER and THE BUDDHA OF SUBURBIA.

Review-
When we are not honest with ourselves we begin to lose what makes us special. Only when we are brutally honest can we recapture our unique identity. The Characters in this movie discover this on a weekend when they were trying to recapture the romance of their marriage and only when they get really honest do they find what they are seeking. I love the phrase Read less Live more that Nick puts on the wall of his hotel room. Great Film.
