Woody Allen’s Blue Jasmine shows the dire consequences that can result when people avert their eyes from reality and the truth they don’t want to see. When Jasmine’s (brilliantly played by Cate Blanchett) marriage falls apart, she moves into her estranged sister Ginger’s modest apartment in San Francisco to try to pull her life, and her mind, back together. And while what is happening to her echoes the real-life Bernie Madoff scandal, the real problem for Jasmine is that she’s the unwitting instrument of her own downfall. One of Allen’s best.
