Le Week-End is a 2013 British-French drama-comedy film directed by Roger Michell and written by Hanif Kureishi. The film stars Jim Broadbent and Lindsay Duncan as Nick and Meg Burrows, a British couple in their sixties who return to Paris, where they honeymooned three decades ago, to celebrate their 30th wedding anniversary.
The couple hopes to recapture the romance and excitement of their youth, but as soon as they arrive, long-established tensions in their marriage begin to surface. Nick, a reserved and practical history professor, is content with their modest hotel and sightseeing plans, while Meg, a frustrated and outspoken teacher, longs for luxury and excitement.
As they wander the streets of Paris, visiting old haunts and exploring new ones, they encounter various characters that challenge their views on life and love. A chance encounter with a former student of Nick's leads to a hilarious and awkward reunion, and a chance encounter with a charming Frenchman leads to temptation and betrayal.
Throughout the film, Nick and Meg teeter between confrontation and reconciliation, struggling to find a way to reignite the passion and connection they once shared. The film ultimately explores the complexity of long-term relationships, the challenges of aging, and the power of forgiveness.
