Woody Allen received a three-minute standing ovation at the Venice premiere of “Coup de Chance” on Monday night, which would have gone on longer had the filmmaker not started to exit. After two min…
ahead of the film’s world premiere, Allen teased that “Coup de Chance,” his 50th feature, might be his last as he is growing tired of hustling to secure financial backing for his projects.
“I have so many ideas for films that I would be tempted to do it, if it was easy to finance,” he said. “But beyond that, I don’t know if I have the same verve to go out and spend a lot of time raising money.”film critic Owen Gleiberman called “Coup de Chance” Allen’s best movie since “Blue Jasmine” in, adding, “The film has a jaunty tone of deadpan glee, abetted by its soundtrack of ’60s and ’70s jazz standards.
Written and directed by Allen, “Coup de Chance” is a French-language thriller in the vein of “Match Point” that follows a beautiful couple living in Paris come undone by the arrival of a former flame. The cast includes Lou de Laage, Valerie Lemercier, Melvil Poupaud and Niels Schneider. “Coup de Chance” is Allen’s first directorial effort since 2020’s “Rifkin’s Festival,” which did not have a proper theatrical release in North America, nor did his 2019 comedy “A Rainy Day in New York,” which featured starry talent like Timothee Chalamet, Selena Gomez and Elle Fanning. Theatrical distributors in the U.S. have largely avoided Allen since the #MeToo movement resurfaced Dylan Farrow’s allegations of child molestation against him.
