Riviera Revenge
Synopsis
Retired French general François (André Dussollier) and his wife Annie (Sabine Azéma) have been married for five decades. Enjoying all the perks of retirement, François heads to the attic one day to declutter old boxes and dust off memories, only to stumble upon his worst nightmare: a stack of love letters revealing his wife’s affair from forty years ago.
It's up to François to make the mature choice: does he turn the other cheek and let bygones be bygones? Or does he sharpen his wits and call in favours to track down the man who humiliated him? Hell-bent on the latter, François scours the Côte-d'Azur, determined to exact revenge – even if it means losing what he holds most dear in the process. It’s time for vengeance, French Riviera-style!
This delightfully contagious comedy from director Ivan Calbéra (The Tasting), proves you’re never too old for crazy acts of love – or payback. With stunning backdrops, a whole lot of heart and shenanigans a-plenty, Riviera Revenge is guaranteed to make you both laugh and cry. No one ever said marriage was easy and who could resist retribution by the seaside?
Starts June 26 at Luna Leederville, Windsor and Luna on SX.

Reviews
A comedy with heart, anchored by two veterans of French cinema who know how to tease out every subtle nuance of love, regret, and personal pride.
This film is entertaining just watching Francois’ ridiculous reactions... But what makes it brilliant is watching his stiff upper lip soften.
Absolutely hilarious... It’s a treat to watch, and you will not be disappointed.
