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?

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 foul temper 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 blow up the already fragile family balance?
