Coup de Chance

Coup de Chance (2023) is Woody Allen's French-language drama, and you can watch it online on iFILM. It marks his fiftieth film as a director and the first he shot entirely in French, set among the elegant streets and apartments of Paris.

Fanny and Jean look like the perfect couple: successful, wealthy, settled. Then Fanny runs into Alain, a writer who adored her back in their student days, and the spark is instant. Their affair grows careless. Jean starts to notice. What began as a romantic escape slides into something far darker, with chance turning the screws at every step. Lou de Laâge, Niels Schneider and Melvil Poupaud lead the cast.

Allen leans into his favorite idea, luck as the hidden author of our lives, and wraps it in a cool European thriller scored with jazz and lensed by Vittorio Storaro. The result is graceful and surprisingly ruthless for late Allen. Worth a look if you like a polished drama with a crime hiding underneath. Stream Coup de Chance (2023) online on iFILM.
