Chicago-based distributors Music Box Films have revealed that they are planning to release on Blu-ray director Roger Michell's (
Notting Hill) latest film
Le Week-End (2013), starring Jeff Goldblum, Jim Broadbent, and Lindsay Duncan. The release will be available for purchase on July 8th.
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.
