A one-time tennis pro, Chris Wilton was used to falling just short in his life. But when he befriends Tom Hewett and marries his sister, Chloe, the doors are opened to the kind of money and success that Chris had once only dreamed of. Chris should have settled for happiness, but he is torn by his attraction to Tom’s impossibly beautiful and sensual fiancé, Nola. The attraction turns to an obsession that forces Chris to make a critical choice. Now everything in his life hinges on if Chris falls short again…and whether or not his luck runs out. “Match Point” is a drama about ambition and obsession, the seduction of wealth, and the often discordant relationship between love and sexual passion. Perhaps most importantly, however, the story reveals the huge part luck plays in the events of our lives, refuting the comforting misconception that more of life is under our control than really is. The film stars Scarlett Johansson (“Lost in Translation,” “Girl With a Pearl Earring”), Jonathan Rhys Meyers (“Bend it Like Beckham,” TV’s “Elvis”), Emily Mortimer (“Lovely & Amazing,” “Bright Young Things”), Matthew Goode (“Chasing Liberty”), Brian Cox (“The Bourne Identity,” “Red Eye”) and Penelope Wilton (“Iris,” “Pride & Prejudice”). Written and directed by Academy Award® winner Woody Allen (“Annie Hall,” “Hannah and Her Sisters”), “Match Point” represents a departure for the native New Yorker, the majority of whose films lovingly depict New York and—not always so lovingly—New Yorkers. Crossing the Atlantic for the first time in his film career, Allen set “Match Point” in London, where it was also filmed. |
