Ten or even five years ago a movie directed by Roger Michell (Changing Lanes, The Mother, Enduring Love, Venus) with a script by Hanif Kureishi (My Beautiful Laundrette, Sammy and Rosie Get Laid) and costarring Jim Broadbent, Lindsay Duncan, Lesley Warren and Jeff Goldblum would be a must-see with journalists buzzing about it with at least a certain level of excitement. But the energy levels couldn’t be lower about this morning’s (11:30 am, or 27 minutes from now) screening at the Scotiabank 14. What am I doing here in my place, writing about Le Week-End instead of seeing it? I think it’s the hyphen that’s giving people pause. It’s spelled “weekend”, not “week-end.”
