Woody Allen’s 50th film, “Coup de Chance,” is set to hit theaters this weekend, but the release of the French-language thriller has been met with mixed reactions. The movie tells the story of a bored wife in Paris who cheats on her wealthy husband, triggering fatal consequences. Despite the star-studded cast and jazzy score, many viewers may not even realize they are watching a Woody Allen film.
The 88-year-old director has faced controversy in recent years due to allegations of sexual assault made by his daughter, Dylan Farrow. Despite the accusations, Allen has continued to make movies, with “Coup de Chance” being his latest project. The film has already premiered in several countries and will now be shown in 13 theaters across the United States.
While some actors have distanced themselves from Allen in light of the allegations, others have continued to support him. The release of “Coup de Chance” comes at a time when the #MeToo movement has raised questions about how to separate an artist’s work from their personal life.
Despite the controversy surrounding Allen, his films continue to attract audiences and generate revenue. “Coup de Chance” is just the latest in a long line of movies from the prolific director, and there are already talks of a new project in the works.
As audiences prepare to watch Allen’s latest film, the debate over his legacy and the impact of the allegations against him continues to simmer. Whether “Coup de Chance” will be a success remains to be seen, but one thing is certain – Woody Allen’s influence on the world of cinema is undeniable.
