Is Blue Jasmine his best film ever?
For me it comes close, certainly up there with Match Point as the best of his 'serious' films.
It's a masterpiece of subtlety and layers. There is material to provoke thought and discussion for weeks after leaving the theatre. It's alternatively funny, insightful, warm and probing...and unlike any other Woody Allen film.
Perhaps most interesting for this board is the politics of the film, in which Allen appears to portray the lead character as someone who married into the aristroracy with an attitude of entitlement, arrogance and disdain for anyone who actually works for a living.
