Coup de chance (2023)★ 6.7/10

Woody Allen has managed to make films that feel like soap operas about urban relationships for decades, and honestly, you’ve got to respect that kind of dedication.

It feels pretty average compared to Woody Allen's other works. But seeing him walk the red carpet, supported by someone, made me realize how old he is at 87. Despite this, he has kept his creative talent, passion, and unique insight into life and the world for nearly a lifetime. With over 50 works under his belt, he remains an essential part of film history, a true gift to the world.

This film maintains Woody Allen’s signature comfort and high-density dialogue, while also embracing the gray tones and humor that define his style. This story has chance and necessity, while interwoven with his unique brand of intimate romance. Those who aren't fans might find his style somewhat repetitive, always exploring similar themes. However, the director's consistent film style complements his distinct approach. With his prolific output, he has undeniably reached the pinnacle of success in his distinctive way. Woody Allen is no longer just a name; he has become a symbol, wouldn't you agree?

It slightly exceeds expectations. While there aren't any groundbreaking visual innovations, Woody Allen, as the scriptwriter of this film, still displays his talent by cleverly presenting this hilariously absurd romantic comedy. The film delivers surprises in both humor and suspense, particularly in the latter part. Overall, it may not be revolutionary, but it's well-crafted. Woody Allen is just an ordinary person who could fade away at any moment, just like anyone else, but his exceptional works have the privilege of lingering for a while and making an impact.

Honestly, this movie was a real disappointment, unlike Woody Allen's usual stuff. He's done similar themes before, but this film falls flat, with shallow characters, a thin plot, and no real excitement. Without Allen's name attached, I doubt anyone would bother watching it. But still, I don't want to think this is the finale of his career.

Woody Allen casually strolls through the streets of Paris, skillfully capturing the everyday moments between men and women with his clever use of long takes. He lets the characters freely chat about the ordinary aspects of married life while infusing it with strangeness and irony towards those "vanished" occurrences. He effectively portrays the calculated absurdity of those orchestrating the disappearances, all while using a cool color palette and injecting humor into the character portrayals. He sprinkles jokes and criticisms throughout the film, resulting in plenty of laughter.

The plot's kinda like those old Woody Allen movies, all tangled up in a love triangle. Woody Allen probably loves the ending, but for me, it just kinda fizzles out; there's no natural closure. The cinematography gives fall-time Paris this warm, golden retro feel. Plus, I was really into how Woody Allen played with colors and the actors' movements. He keeps Jean in this gray area, showing he's kinda shady. In scenes with Jean and Fanny chatting, Fanny is always in bright colors while Jean goes for darker shades.

Me sorprendió para bien el curso que tomó la trama, luego de la primera parte, en la que se presenta el romance...un sucio romance.
También me gustó el trabajo de la cámara, sobre todo los planos dinámicos, con movimiento, y los ¿angulares? (no estoy seguro que se llame así, pero yo me entiendo). En general, visualmente muy colorido y estético.
Si crees que es puro romance, estás en lo incorrecto. El romance es sucio y débil; además hay otros ingredientes que toman más fuerza, como el misterio y la psicología, si se quiere.
Siempre interesante la temática de la suerte, el azar y las probabilidades.

Fanny y Jean una la pareja perfecta, hasta cuando Fanny se reencuentra con un antiguo compañero de clase, es entonces donde se involucra y arrastra a un apasionado romance.
Este romántico drama fue, ambientado París, en el cual se explora las complejidades del amor y la tentación humana.

Parece bastante normal comparado con otros proyectos de Woody Allen. Pero verlo caminar por la alfombra roja, apoyado en alguien, hizo que me diera cuenta de la edad que tiene, ¡87 años! A pesar de ello, ha mantenido su talento creativo, su pasión y su visión única de la vida y del mundo durante casi toda una vida. Con más de 50 obras en su haber, sigue siendo una parte esencial de la historia del cine, un verdadero regalo para el mundo.

Woody Allen ha conseguido hacer películas que parecen telenovelas sobre relaciones urbanas durante décadas y, sinceramente, hay que respetar ese tipo de dedicación.

Parece bastante mediano em comparação com outras obras de Woody Allen. Mas vê-lo andar no tapete vermelho, apoiado por alguém, me fez perceber quantos anos ele tem, aos 87 anos. Apesar disso, ele manteve seu talento criativo, paixão e visão única da vida e do mundo por quase toda a vida. Com mais de 50 obras em seu currículo, ele continua sendo uma parte essencial da história do cinema, um verdadeiro presente para o mundo.
