Coup de Chance

Two young people's bond leads to marital infidelity and ultimately crime. Fanny and Jean have everything of an ideal couple: fulfilled in their professional life, they live in a magnificent apartment in the beautiful districts of Paris and seem to be in love as on the first day. But when Fanny crosses, by chance, Alain, a former high school friend, she is immediately capsized. They see each other again very quickly and get closer and closer.

    A masterpiece in a great romantic tradition
    Make no mistake , this is a French film about love. It is fascinating that Woody Allen surprizes again with his ability to reinvent himself while preserving the freshness of delivery and keeping the viewer engaged to the very (surprising) end - all due to "coupe de chance" (a stroke of luck). While the similarity of "chance " echoes previous Woody's film, this story is about how love can express itself in many ways. He accomplishes this with focusing on people as they change during the film.

    Admirable use of wide angle lens view to reflect the setting as can be seen by the character rather than TV style focus on faces. Cinematography is 10 stars, plot and acting 9 stars.

    Do us a favor: stop directing movies!
    Outdated, old in concept, unlikely. Poor Allen continues to make films in his alternative reality, made up of bohemian writers, snobs who read paper books and live modernist adventures, listen to vintage jazz, etc. This bland and boring film lacks anything that could make it interesting. Absolutely irrelevant in the overall scheme of things. Mere exercise in style without any particular style other than luxury furniture. Awkward as a geriatric dream machine. But the most hateful thing is to see characters who do not act like ordinary mortals, in a perpetual exaltation of the ruling class. I swear this is the last time I'll waste time with an author who should seriously step aside and stop trying to involve us with his nostalgia.
