Blue Jasmine is the Latest film by Woody Allen, starring Cate Blanchett if tells the Story of Jasmine, a New York Socialite, who has lost all her money when her Husband is prosecuted for fraud. At the start of the movie, we see Jasmine arriving in San Francisco to the home of her Sister Ginger, who she has had to move in with while she sorts herself out.
Initially I was a little put off by the films style, running two timelines, as Jasmine explains in the present the events of the past, the past events are revealed as they become relevant. However by the end of the movie this style grew on me.
I found this film very engaging, and was not bored once, what is undeniable in this film is that the Performance of Cate Blanchett is outstanding, Jasmine is an extremely complex character, who has suffered a nervous breakdown, and often talks to herself/anyone who will listen, drinks heavilly and relies on prescription drugs. Blanchett brings this Character to life with a remarkable acting performance, and must be heavy favorite for Best Actress awards at the end of the year.
Whether or not you enjoy this movie, it is an absolute must see for the performance of Blanchett 9/10
