Jim Broadbent & Lindsay Duncan, Le Week-end



Jim Broadbent attended the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art before his start at the Royal Court Theatre in Chelsea. He has since become a BAFTA award-winning actor, known for his strong, versatile performances (Iris, 2001, Moulin Rouge, 2001, The Iron Lady, 2011).

Tony award-winning Scottish actress Lindsay Duncan is famous for her performances in Private Lives and Les Liaisons Dangereuses on the stage. She's also starred in a few television shows and films. You can see her next in BBC2's production of Shakespeare's Richard II.

Here, these two incredible actors talk about their roles as a quarrelsome couple in Roger Michell's new film Le Week-end. The duo has decided to revisit Paris for their 30th anniversary in an attempt to rekindle the sparks of their marriage. Almost an anti-Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, Le Week-end is a biting look at love late in life.
