Coup de Chance - 2023 - 6/10
AKA - Stroke Of Luck

Woody Allen continues his long observations of insecurity, infidelity and jealousy.
This outing, per the title, “chance” is a major element. Not Fate, chance. Randomness.
Alain sees Fanny on the sidewalk, and they share a quick conversation.
They had known each other in a New York high school, where Alain had been too shy to approach Fanny.
Not so now, as Alain increasingly flirts and hits on her, all the while aware she is married,
To a wealthy man, an older man, a very jealous and suspicious man.
A relationship drama (similar to Rohmer) shifts remorselessly into much darker territory.
Not the home run Allen fans always hope for, yet very good.
And a “good” Allen is still better than most films out there.
