Romantic Thriller Hailed by Critics and
Audiences Worldwide
NEW
YORK, March 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ --
Woody Allen's newest
film is set for release in select theaters across the United States on April 5, 2024. COUP DE
CHANCE, a romantic thriller shot entirely in
French and starring an acclaimed international cast
including Lou de Laâge (International Emmy
winner. The Mad Women's
Ball), Valérie Lemercier, (The
Visitors), Melvil Poupaud, (Eric Rohmer's A Tale of
Summer), and Niels
Schneider (Heartbeats, How I Killed My
Mother) is Allen's 50th film as director.
A sensation when it debuted at the Venice Film
Festival, COUP DE CHANCE has received
glowing reviews during its international release across
Europe and Asia with comparisons to some
of Allen's most acclaimed masterpieces
including Blue Jasmine, Match Point, Vicky Cristina
Barcelona and Midnight in Paris.
In English, the title means "stroke of luck," and the film
centers around the central
role of chance and luck in our lives. Fanny
(de Laâge) and Jean (Poupaud,) look like the
ideal married couple: they are professionally accomplished,
live in a gorgeous apartment in a tony part of Paris, and seem to be in love just as much as
they were when they first met. But when Fanny accidentally
bumps into Alain (Schneider), a
former high school classmate, she's swept off her feet. They
soon see each other again and get closer and closer.
Ben Croll at The Wrap says, "Allen's trademark
philosophical asides and well-tuned one-liners fit neatly into
French", while Variety's Owen
Gleiberman calls COUP DE
CHANCE "absorbing, thrilling, and cheekily
satisfying." Roger Friedman at Showbiz 911 described
the film as a "tight 90-minute murder mystery with a surprise
ending that will blow you away."
COUP DE CHANCE was written and directed
by Woody Allen. It was
produced by Letty
Aronson and Erika
Aronson and features cinematography
by the legendary Vittorio Storaro, who
shot Apocalypse Now and Last Tango in Paris as well
as Allen's four previous films. With a soundtrack
including pieces by jazz giants Cannonball
Adderley and Milt Jackson, COUP DE
CHANCE is a feast for the eyes and ears.
MPI Media Group is releasing COUP DE
CHANCE on April 5,
2024 in theaters across the country including
New York City, Los Angeles, Boston, Florida and Ohio followed by a digital/VOD release on
April 12.
