Beloved French veterans spice up this frothy love triangle
RIVIERA REVENGE ★★★½ M. 94 minutes. In cinemas Riviera Revenge is French cinema at its frothiest, with three of its most beloved veterans leading the dance. Sabine Azéma and André Dussollier are cast as Annie and Francois, a couple whose 50- year marriage is based on her willingness to put up with his prejudices. A retired general, he's prone to injecting military attitudes and routines into their family life, as we see during the opening scene at Annie's birthday lunch when he junks a chorus of Happy Birthday in favour of celebrating her with his own rewritten version of the La Marseillaise. His eldest son, Amaury (Gael Giraudeau), who has followed him into the army, cheerfully sings along, but Amaury's siblings, Adrien (Sebastien Chassagne) and Capucine (Joséphine De Meaux) can only hang their heads and look glum. Shortly afterwards, however, Francois' world comes crashing down around his own head with his discovery of a bundle of love letters revealing a fling that Annie had with one of their friends 35 years earlier. Writer-director Ivan Calbérac, who is also a playwright, came up with his script after reading a news report about a 92-year-old Sicilian who became Italy's oldest divorcee when he split with his wife of many years after a similar revelation. Calbérac decided that an adaptation of the story could be perfect for Azéma and Dussollier, who have played husband and wife on screen no less than 10 times. And as Boris, the third member of the love triangle, he settled on the suave Thierry Lhermitte, whose own long career has centred on his mastery of the comedy of manners. When confronted with the letters, Annie responds with a perfect Gallic shrug and says it all happened so long ago that she can barely remember it.

19 Secrets People Haven't Told Anyone
Recently, u/okayokay_wow asked r/AskReddit, "What's the darkest secret you're willing to admit anonymously?" Naturally, the responses ranged from actually dark to relatively harmless, so here are some of the lighter ones. "A jerk cut me off in line while buying coffee. He paid via tap and left the counter without completing the transaction for tip. The person manning the register turned his back for a second. I subtly clicked 25% for the jerk when no one was looking." "This kid who grew up with very rich parents has always been an ass." "I once faked a pregnancy to get a man to leave me alone. He panicked, ghosted, and blocked me everywhere. Worked better than any breakup speech I've ever given." "One time I bought an ice cream cake from DQ and asked them to write 'Happy Birthday Hannah' on the front. I don't know a Hannah, I just really wanted ice cream cake, but wanted it to seem like there was a reason for buying a whole cake." "I stole probably $20 worth of erasers and book marks from the Scholastic Book Fair all throughout elementary school." "I'm not always pooping in the stalls at work. Sometimes I'm just playing on my phone or want a moment to avoid my job." "I was almost late to my (online) PhD dissertation defence a few years ago because I was finishing up an episode of 90 Day Fiancé." "When I was sixteen/seventeen, I was a gun runner... Between Mexico and Texas. Then, after getting shot at, I decided to find a different line of work." "I'm the one who stole all the mouse balls from the computer lab in 2001. Fuck you, Coach Jacobs." "Growing up, there was a church whose bell tower was directly across from my bedroom window. I got tired of getting woke early on Sundays, so one day I climbed up the bell tower and took the clapper out of the bell." "I manipulate my husband's search history to get him interested in things I like." "My mom and i went to a psychic medium. I went first, and during it, I mentioned the name of my grandma, who went by a very unique nickname: 'Geegee'." "Saw a coworker messing with an office key lock of a shitty boss we had, I saw the shitty boss walk toward him. I intercepted and killed five minutes so he could escape. He added tuna juice [very little] to her keyboard." "I put ketchup on my macaroni." "In my high school poetry class, I would procrastinate my assignments until I just ended up stealing lyrics to obscure indie rock songs. My professor thought I was a genius and should pursue writing in college." "I got bereavement pay at work for relatives that aren't dead." "There's always canned pineapple hidden in the back of my pantry. I'm Italian, and I eat pizza with pineapple when I'm home alone. I order a prosciutto, then add an unholy amount of pineapple. So far, nobody has caught me." "I got really, REALLY good at shoplifting. Like, $2000 worth of shit in my bag and a leisurely walk to the exit, 'smile at the cashier; kind of good." "I once took a really fat s*** on the lawn of my University because it was TIME and I couldn't find a bathroom fast enough." H/T to u/okayokay_wow asked r/AskReddit for having the discussion!
