Le Week-End (2013 Roger Michel)

Another barrel of laughs from the somewhat rebarbative Hanif Kureishi in which clashing couple Lindsay Duncan and Jim Broadbent celebrate their 30th anniversary in Paris: she immediately alienates us by nearly deserting him in Hotel #1, then pushing him over and threatening to leave him again on the streets of Montmartre; he is somewhat pathetic (and doesn't think twice about vandalising five star hotel suite). Self-absorbed 'old friend' Jeff Goldblum doesn't help matters any.

Recreation of Godard's Bande à Part's dance routine leaves us wondering what we've been watching.
