FRED's Interview: Woody Allen - COUP DE CHANCE #venezia80

At FRED Film Radio, Woody Allen presents his new film COUP DE CHANCE, presented in Out of Competition at #Venezia80.

COUP DE CHANCE:
Coup de Chance is about the important role chance and luck play in our lives. Fanny and Jean look like the ideal married couple—they’re both professionally accomplished, they live in a gorgeous apartment in an exclusive neighborhood of Paris, and they seem to be in love just as much as they were when they first met.
But when Fanny accidentally bumps into Alain, a former high school classmate, she’s swept off her feet. They soon see each other again and get closer and closer...

I strongly recommend his memoir, Apropos of Nothing - it's a wonderful, intimate read with one of the greatest writers in American cinema

[VinodDhanda-jj]

More than any filmmaker, Woody Allen has kept his promise to make a film every year. For all of his talent and success, he has remained a humble and honest man, and this shines through in every interview he's given and film he's made. We could all learn much from his energy, imagination - and good luck. I can't wait to watch Coup de Chance.

🥰❤👏Coup de chance is absolutely brilliant! Wonderful! Thank you, Woody! You are the best!

[BeauDare-ovpy]

Woody Allen is the best there is.. He is one of the most inventive, resourseful director/ screenwriters in films. As an American actor/ screenwriter, I salute him. Hollywood could take a lesson from him. A million best wishes, Woody..

[dagmarquadros]

I watched the movie last night and absolutely loved it. Clever script, wonderful actors, downplaying the inherent drama to a point where you think: this could have happened to me. Pure pleasure

[bobbydazzler]

Sounds a lot like Match Point. Can't wait to see Coup de chance. Woody is a genius!

[pablofrank]

I cannot wait to see this film. Woody Allen is a genius and one of the greatest living directors.

[lynnewebley]

Love Woody, wonderful person and fantastic artist

[antoniatejedabarros]

Genius. Wonderful interview. Thanks! #WoodyAllen ❤💖💗💓

[RobertLaberge]

Very well planned interview by a charming young lady. Some original questions for once.

[lepetitchat]

Lovely to see Woody again. He is still a clear and great thinker!

[antoniatejedabarros]

👏❤Coup de chance is another masterpiece by Woody, the master of cinema. The cast (Lou de Laâge, Melvin Poupaud, Niels Schneider, and Valérie Lemercier) is absolutely great, the script (Woody) is brilliant, the cinematography (Vittorio Storaro) is gorgeous, and the direction (Woody) is, as always, impecable. This is a movie about love, betrayal, control, and luck. Amazingly written and beautifully shot. A masterpiece (in French) with a flavour of the great French cinema from last century (Truffaut, Lelouch, Godard), with a bit of Hitchcock (you can actually spot a Hitchcock book lying on a shelf in one scene), and with a wonderful soundtrack (jazz from the 60s: Herbie Hancock's "Cantaloupe Island" and Nat Adderley). No explosions, plastic people or a 200MM budget; just absolutely pure excellent cinema. Bravo, Woody. You are the best! 10/10.👏❤

[medmaxfuryroad]

Great interview and beautiful questions, she managed to ask simple things but posed in a very interesting and passionate way

[oluwaseunojegoke]

I'm not good; but I'm consistent. Hmmm. Great, even though he's more than good. But the lesson here is that consistency is the key. This man here is an epitome of consistency.

My ranking of Allen (haven't seen everything, though):
1. Hannah and Her Sisters
2. Annie Hall
3. Match Point
4. Manhattan
5. Crimes and Misdemeanors

[cherylfigueroa]

I adore Woody his films are amazing and I really don’t care 🤷‍♀️ about what anyone says

[ead]

I don't get why he fled to Europe in the first place. He's not in any legal trouble, as far as I know.
