Blue Jasmine Blu-ray Discussion - Blu-ray Forum

Quote:

Poignant, romantic, and mesmerizing, writer/director Woody Allen's latest masterpiece centers around Jasmine (Cate Blanchett), a former New York socialite teetering on an emotional tightrope, balancing between her troubled east coast past and a fresh start in San Francisco. Having moved into her sister's humble apartment, Jasmine ricochets between the tumultuous acceptance of her new limitations, and the dreams of reclaiming her past life's glamour. Join a powerful cast for an intimate portrayal of the battle between fantasy and reality which rages within us all.

Release date: January 21

Finally! Can't wait to rewatch this movie!

Boom!! Sold.

rybev · 11-20-2013, 04:37 PM

Really enjoyed this.
Cate Blanchetes performance was perfect, she really nails the part of a woman on the edge.

Source = Amazon Canada? Do US and Canadian release dates usually coincide?

Yes, for the most part. Only if the distributors are different will there be greater chance of different release dates, but major studios release movies to Canada and US on the same dates typically. Amazon.ca often puts up their listings before Amazon.com.

Now all they gotta do is cut the price in half.

Just finished this. Cate Blanchett was phenomenal.

My library has this on order and I'm 74th on the hold list!

add: They are getting four copies

Definitely excited for this. I feel like each Woody Allen movie that comes out someone proclaims is a return to form, but this really felt like it for me.

Altho this is inconsequential to the vast majority of Woody's fans, I for one am delighted that he chose to lense 'Blue Jasmine' in 'scope (2.35 AR); as opposed to his usual practice of shooting in 1.85, altho I can see why that has been his preferred medium for so long, as the narrower frame conveys a more intimate vibe. In any case, and for whatever artistic reason why he decided to go with the wider canvas this time, it appears that he has again chosen the Panavision format for his next film, 'Magic in the Moonlight' (source: IMDB). I've always loved the esthetic look of the wider lenses, as it closer resembles 'real life', where we view the world in 180 degrees, and also the reason why I took the CIH plunge years ago, and also why I had embraced the Laserdisc format way way back. Anyhoo, props to Woody

Yeah, I really do want to pick it up ASAP since I haven't watched it yet but $22.99 is too much for a barebones sony title when you know it'll drop eventually.
