Speaking to the actor Alec Baldwin over Instagram Live in June 2022, Allen suggested that his 50th film - previously said to be a drama similar to La provocación (2005) - was likely to be his last.
As filming ended, Woody Allen stated in an interview: "I can only tell you that this is a crime film, a serious story of crime and punishment. With a dose of romance, of course."
[statement by Woody Allen in February 2023] "Golpe De Suerte En París (2023) is 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. 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."
The movie was shot under the production name WASP22, for Woody Allen Summer Project 2022.
This is Woody Allen's first movie where the main language is not English, and the second one shot entirely in France after Medianoche en París (2011), even though parts of Todos dicen que te amo (1996) were shot in France as well.
