Coup de Chance

Directed and written by Woody Allen, this comedy-drama movie Coup de Chance or Stroke of Luck made its debut at the 80th Venice International Film Festival in 2023. The story follows a couple whose perfect appearance hides a troubled relationship and a descent into crime.

Fanny (Lou de Laâge) and Jean (Melvil Poupaud) seem perfect together to everyone else, but their relationship is actually falling apart. Fanny is secretly seeing Alain (Niels Schneider), her old high school boyfriend. When Jean finds out, he is so angry that he hires someone to get rid of Alain.

Jean has a dark side and likes to solve his problems with violence. Things get even more complicated when Jean’s mother-in-law, Camille (Valérie Lemercier), finds out that Jean is involved in a murder. She starts to investigate him and learns some shocking secrets. Worried for her daughter's safety, Camille tells her to leave Jean before it’s too late.
