It wasn't too long ago that Woody Allen filmed a movie on his beloved city, ('Whatever Works' on 2009) but it feels like a decade since we've seen him back to his own element. Because maybe going back to where he started will be a good thing.
He's been filming abroad since 2005, and while some movies he has done out there are good ('Match Point' is a modern masterpiece, 'Scoop' is hilariously underrated and 'Vicky Cristina Barcelona' and 'Midnight in Paris' were fine) it feels that in many of those something is missing. As much as we love Woody filming on our city (i got the chance to see him filming on the streets of Barcelona!), his movies haven't been as Woody-esque as they used to be. And that's maybe because of his love affair with New York.
'Blue Jasmine' will be his return and it centers on the last stages of a crisis and the life of a fashionable New York housewife, and that's what Woody knows. Not that he knows the world and drama of fashionable housewives today, unless he watches all those reality shows which i doubt, but he knows about midlife crisis and women and that's a good start. The film stars Cate Blanchett (flawless), Alec Baldwin (who was the only likeable thing of 'To Rome with Love'), Michael Stuhlbarg, Peter Sarsgaard and Louis C.K. among others and below there are the first stills. The movie comes out on theatres July 26th and let's hope it's good old Woody, like the one we fell in love with.
