The film, which will have a French cast, will be shot in Paris, according to the 86-year-old director, who indicated he will relocate there.

“This will be my fiftyth feature. Allen said, “It might be the last one.

“I am moving to Paris in September. I found the financing in the United States, but the cast is entirely French and the film will be played in the language. I have already chosen the main actors,” he added.

The director described the picture as “a kind of amorous and poisonous thriller,” in the same vein as his Scarlett Johansson and Jonathan Rhys Meyers-starring 2005 film Match Point.
