Cinema Paradiso Movie - Coup de Chance - 4th May (THIS Saturday evening)

Cinema Paradiso's next film "Coup de Chance" is a 2023 comedy-drama thriller movie, written and directed by Woody Allen. The plot involves a young woman who bumps into an old high school friend who confesses that he has always loved her. They began seeing each other for lunch, which she hides from her possessive businessman husband, and they slowly begin an affair.

 

The Guardian's review: "Fanny (Lou de Laâge), we’re told, was once a high-school bohemian. Now she’s wed to the odious Jean (Melvil Poupaud), a self-made millionaire whose chief passion is the train-set which occupies an entire room of their palatial home. She spends her time in posh auction rooms, attending cocktail receptions or hunting deer from the couple’s bucolic weekend retreat. Now, thanks to her dalliance with Alain (Niels Schneider), Fanny reconnects with a different (and woozily romanticised) side of Paris and starts browsing in second-hand bookshops and strolling through leaf-blown city parks. “My life would be so different if I hadn’t bumped into you on the street,” she declares. Inevitably, though, luck is not on their side. Boiling over with suspicion, Jean has already hired a private detective to trail his wife around town and it is at this point that the melancholic Coup de Chance prepares to jump the points and embark on a different, rather darker track."
