In August 2017, things were looking good for Woody Allen. The legendary New York filmmaker had reached an agreement with Amazon Prime Video to continue producing films, although in the end he only ended up distributing ‘Wonder wheel’. After the unclarified scandals of Me Too, ‘Rainy Day in New York’ had a very limited release, just like his next film, ‘Rifkin’s Festival’. Now, three years later, the trailer for his latest film arrivesthe first shot totally in another language… and nobody knows if it will be a full stop or an end to his career.
oh la la
It would not stop being paradoxical that one of the key filmmakers to understand the pop fascination for New York He will end his days filming in France and in French, but it seems that is what is happening with Allen, who before this ‘Coup de Chance’ had never been so long without directing. Since ‘Take the money and run’ in 1969, The longest we had gone without seeing one of his works was two years.
In this case, the director gets fully involved in a plot of infidelity and crime through which his 50th film navigates, for which he once again moves away from the streets of Manhattan. And the truth is that, from what we see in the trailer, hit again at least in photographywhich leaves the plain of some of his mature films and stands out with its own light.
It is true that it cannot be said that the trailer has been a bombshell on the Internet, but perhaps in part it is because there is only one release date, September 27 in France (although it may go through Venice or San Sebastián before). The rumors say that At 87, Allen has already taken it for granted that this will be his last film, at least as a director., but he always seems to have a trick up his sleeve. Time will tell.
