COUP DE CHANCE (Woody Allen 2023)

Paris release Sept. 27. Owen Gleiberman gave this film a rave in Variety at Venice. Many French critics are very lukewarm, or dismissive, saying it's old fashioned, its view of the locale like "Emily in Paris" but not as good, its heightened colors garish. The public seems only slightly warme, but it is still showing in theaters all over the country. AlloCiné press rating 2.7 (54%), spectators rating 3.0 (60%). Top critic quote (LCI):

A delightful comedy of manners, veering towards the detective genre in the manner of Match Point, this fiftieth film bears the author's inimitable touch, with its comical situations and killer lines.
