Watched Blue Jasmine last night. I hated it, I loved it. Its hard for me to name a Woody Allen film that is more skilled and technically proficient, and Ive seen most of them. *sigh* However Blue Jasmine might be Allen’s cruelest film ever. The film begins with Jasmine arriving in San Francisco, broke but still flying first class, the dazed victim of a financial scandal involving her former husband. Now homeless, she is forced to rely on the comfort of her estranged sister, Ginger, who is romantically involved with a blue-collar lug named Chili. I saw sadism in it, beyond the usual misanthropy. (Love misanthropy!) Or, put another way, Blue Jasmine feels like tragedy without catharsis—an interesting thing to pull off, but not particularly moving or maybe even admirable. https://youtube/watch?v=tWLtj4LY5CA
