I saw this free on the Roku Channel.
The title means "Stroke of Luck" in French. Story begins with a rich guy's young trophy wife running into an old classmate from high school.
I'd recently watched a YouTube video with writing advice for authors. It argued that you can use coincidence at the beginning of a story, but if later plot developments happen that way, it annoys the reader. And I was a bit disappointed in the ending. How many decades has Woody Allen been at it? Isn't it time he directed a gunfight?
I thought it was an antidote to Match Point, a story of murder among the upper crust which, for some reason, made the poor boy, the working class tennis pro, the villain as he mingles with a perfectly pleasant family of wealthy English aristocrats.
Coup de Chance has a young writer living in a studio apartment targeted by his girlfriend's wealthy husband.
I didn't really like the model railroad. It should have looked more European, like with a couple of model European hamlets for the train to pass through.
