Blue Jasmine
Mental Illness is something we now think of as a product of brain chemistry, not personality. But have we tilted almost too far in that direction? Blue Jasmine, Woody Allen's powerful and enthralling new movie, is about a woman on the verge of a nervous breakdown, and there's something cathartic about a contemporary film that's willing to explore madness as an expression of who a person really is. Blue Jasmine is about what happens when one lost soul meets the cruel real world.
