Blue Jasmine
Cate Blanchett is neurotically golden in another memorable female character study from Woody Allen.
Simply put: it's tremendous. Cate Blanchett is
astonishing. I can't recall a better performance (or more difficult role) by any
actress in recent years; yes, it
really is that good (prepare to be awed!). It's Woody Allen's best movie in
quite a long time. This was a very tricky film to pull off; credit the faultless
cast and Mr. Allen's direction for crafting such a compelling and successful
production given the extremely complicated relationship of it's subject matter
and tone. On this last point, moviegoers must be aware that although the film is
filled with continual humor and comedy, the underlying story is very dark and
unsettling. That said, it's not standard Hollywood film fare in the best
possible way. There is no predictable story or narrative here; you never feel
entirely comfortable with the characters or where the film will take you
next.
For all the memorable dialogue and elegant camerawork
(courtesy of Javier Aguirresarobe), it’s Blanchett’s movie, and her performance
tells yet another story, that of a woman losing control.
Richly chronicled characters, sharp dialogue and that
stupendous centerpiece performance by Cate Blanchett are contributing factors in
the best summer movie of 2013 and one of the most memorable Woody Allen movies
ever.
