Blue Jasmine

Legendary writer and director Woody Allen returned to top form with this terrific character study. A socialite on the verge of losing her mind relocates to San Francisco for a new beginning but clashes with her sister and the people around her which proves a challenge. Based loosely on Tennessee Williams' "A Streetcar Named Desire" Allen delivers his most dramatic film in years that's a perfect showcase for Cate Blanchett who delivers another astonishing performance. The stellar supporting cast includes Sally Hawkins, Bobby Cannavale, Andrew Dice Clay, Alec Baldwin and Peter Sarsgaard. 1001 Films' coverage of current releases.
