Review by mheifets

Make no mistake , this is a French film about love. It is fascinating that Woody Allen surprizes again with his ability to reinvent himself while preserving the freshness of delivery and keeping the viewer engaged to the very (surprising) end - all due to "coupe de chance" (a stroke of luck). While the similarity of "chance " echoes previous Woody's film, this story is about how love can express itself in many ways. He accomplishes this with focusing on people as they change during the film.

Admirable use of wide angle lens view to reflect the setting as can be seen by the character rather than TV style focus on faces. Cinematography is 10 stars, plot and acting 9 stars.
