Woody Allen’s 50th film and possibly his last, certainly is a “coup de maître”, a masterstroke, as the French would say. Set in Paris and played by a brilliant French cast, this utterly enjoyable, quick-witted crime drama probes profound moral dilemmas that unfold in a thrilling, boldly irreverent way. Treachery, a forbidden affair and eventually murder, fuel the virtuoso plot that remains unpredictable all the way to the last, breathtaking ‘coup de chance’ that turns everything upside down.
