Cliff Froehlich (Retired Executive Director of Cinema St. Louis) will provide a short introduction to the film and talk-back and conversation following. Blue Jasmine (2013), written and directed by Woody Allen, is widely recognized as a modern, loose reimagining of Tennessee Williams’s classic 1947 play A Streetcar Named Desire. The film translates the core dynamic of Williams’s masterpiece from New Orleans to San Francisco, swapping post-war grit for a contemporary story shaped by high-society financial fraud.
