Dir. Ivan Calbérac | 2024 | France | 94 mins | M
Starring André Dussollier, Sabine Azéma and Thierry Lhermitte
François Marsault is a former military man who is making the most of his retirement alongside his wife Annie, the only person who seems to be able to put up with his foultemper and demands! Authoritarian, and uncompromising, he rules his family with an iron fist. When he discovers that his wife, who he always held in high esteem, cheated on him 40 years ago, he sees only one solution: to file for divorce and confront her former lover who now lives in Nice. But at 73 years old, and after 50 years of marriage, is this really a good move? And wouldn’t this risk blowing up the already fragile family balance?

“The great thing about Riviera Revenge is that it proves we can laugh at reactionary characters in a popular comedy.”
– CINEMAN-
“Their happiness from acting together (André Dussollier and Sabine Azéma) is contagious“
-OUEST FRANCE-
“This delightfully contagious comedy 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?”
