Today on 26 July 2013, the release of Woody Allen's new drama-comedy 'Blue Jasmine' starts in US (August in EU). Cate Blanchett plays 'Jasmine' - a woman who lost all her possessions. The comedy with references to the split in today's society (super rich - poor middle class) leads from elegant New Yorker society to working class in San Francisco. For the Wall Street Journal, the movie is one of Woody Allen's "strongest work in many years".

The story is about the life crisis of elegant Jasmine (Cate Blanchett) who lost her money and her man. She moves from New York to San Francisco where Jasmine lives in her sister's modest apartment while trying to put the pieces of her life together again.

Read the first reviews online such as on Wall Street Journal which describes the movie's references to the split in today's society (superwealthy and working class) as an 'anatomy of a nation' and entitles 'Blue Jasmine' as Woody Allen's "strongest work in many years". Wall Street Journal states that the performance of "Cate Blanchett tops anything she's done in the past with her portrait of a fallen woman who's a hoot, a horror, a heartbreaker and a wonder." 

The international release of 'Blue Jasmine' starts on 26 July 2013 in US, in August in Europe...
