The great thing about Riviera Revenge is that it proves we can laugh at reactionary characters in a popular comedy.

-

Retired French general François (André Dussollier, Everything Went Fine, AF FFF22) 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, AF FFF23), 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?

Retired military man, François Marsault is cantankerous, authoritarian and uncompromising. No one in his family can tolerate him, except Annie, his wife of fifty years. But when he discovers that Annie, whom he has always respected, betrayed him decades ago, François files for divorce–before heading to Nice, the iconic city in the French Riviera, to confront her former lover. Emotional, endearing and hilarious, RIVIERA REVENGE is one of the best French comedies of recent years. Laugh out loud with your girlfriends over a glass of wine and French delicacies!
