Woody Allen seems to still make films purely out of compulsion, otherwise he wouldn't have produced this misfire. Former schoolmates Fanny [Lou de Laâge] and Alain [Niels Schneider] happen to bump into each other in Paris. He admits to having been in love with her in the past, she suddenly questions her marriage to Jean [Melvil Poupaud] and appears increasingly absent and volatile at home. Jean finds out about the affair through a detective [Grégory Gadebois] and takes drastic action. Fanny's mother [Valérie Lemercier] suspects foul play when Alain appears to have disappeared without a trace. A plot that is barely enough for half an hour. Not funny, not exciting, not romantic. So three times nothing. Only Vittorio Storaro scores a passing grade for his camera work, but that is also on the decline. Remarkable: no Dixieland jazz, but jazz rock fusion (including Cantaloop Island by Herbie Hancock).

The premise of the film is a romantic cliché: a woman who is bored with the superficial and materialistic world of her rich husband is seduced by a poor poet whom she knows from school and who has always loved her. The endless chatter that fills every Woody Allen film, including this one, also bores the viewer. But Allen is a professional and knows how to create a good plot, solving the paradox that, according to Aristotle, is characteristic of a good plot twist: as a viewer you are surprised by the twist or developments and at the same time the plot develops completely logically so that the coincidence is necessary. turns out. The contrast between chance (making life happen) and necessity (wanting to control life) is also the theme of the film: for example, the poet believes in luck in both the meaning of love and chance, while the rich husband believes that you can luck – again in both senses – must force, from which the plot logically develops with the message that you should not underestimate chance (it determines our lives, which itself had a 1 in 1 or 400 billion chance of ever arising) or disparage it (it brings also the chance of love and happiness). From the moment the plot takes its first turn (when the rich husband finds out that his wife is cheating on him, he does not divorce her but gets rid of the competitor in accordance with his philosophy that you have to force happiness ), the film uses the clichéd premise to its advantage and the plot is consistently interesting and exciting, mixing the genre of romantic drama with the genre of detective thriller because the theme of the hunt takes on multiple meanings[ /spoiler]. With this excellent film, Allen shows once again that he can still make a surprising and good film without using new elements.

Light-hearted film by Allen that is quite watchable, but also drags a bit at times because the whole thing is a bit tame. Just not funny enough, just not exciting enough, just not romantic enough. The acting is reasonable and the images by regular cameraman Vittorio Storaro are again beautiful. While he once bathed Rome in warm yellow light, Paris is more of a pastel painting with pleasant soft lighting, especially inside, and occasionally a disturbing blue. The ending was genuinely humorous and exciting but was by far the funniest and best part. 3.0*.
