☛ Match Point by Woody Allen, United-Kingdom, 2005, official website. The screen capture from the opening sequence.
An off-stage narrator (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) tells the following lines:
The man who said “I’d rather be lucky than good” saw deeply into life. People are afraid to face how great a part of life is dependent on luck. It’s scary to think so much is out of one’s control. There are moments in a match when the ball hits the top of the net and for a split second it can either go forward or fall back. With a little luck it goes forward and you win. Or maybe it doesn’t and you lose.
