I have a wonderful wife and marriage, two children… When I started making films all the people chose to emphasize what I was able to do well… they were generous,” Allen said, reported Deadline.

Allen has previously described ‘Coup de Chanc’e as “a contemporary story of romance, passion and violence set in contemporary Paris.””Shot all over the city and a little bit in the countryside, it evolves around a romance between two young people who are old friends and devolves into marital infidelity and ultimately crime,” he continued. “It stars very gifted French actors and actresses, is all in the French language and looks very beautiful as photographed by the great cinematographer, Vittorio Storaro. The rest I’ll leave to surprise,” as per Deadline. (ANI)
