On the surface, Fanny and Jean seem like the perfect couple - they're both successful, live in a beautiful apartment in an affluent Parisian neighbourhood, and look as much in love as when they first met. But when Fanny meets Alain, a former classmate, she falls madly in love. The romantic thriller-comedy Chance Decides premiered in Venice to a unanimous chorus of praise, hailed as director Woody Allen's best film in a decade or more. Praise has been awarded in particular to its charismatic performances and sharp script, with many unexpected twists and turns.
