I told you in June that Woody Allen’s “Coup de Chance” was no stroke of luck — it was a real hit/
Now the press in Venice has seen it and agrees. There was applause at the end of the press screening there today. Then even more at the press conference that followed.
Allen is a controversial filmmaker, yes, because of baseless accusations. But he is not “disgraced,” in any way, shape, or form. He is one of our premier filmmakers and auteurs. If he chooses to end his 50 film career with “Coup de Chance,” it will be on a high note.
