Short description

After experiencing a traumatic misfortune, Jasmine French, a wealthy woman from New York, moves to San Francisco to live with her foster sister Ginger and the firm purpose of getting a new life, but she will be haunted by anxiety and memories of the past.

What's left behind the scenes

Bradley Cooper was considered for a role in this film, but declined due to scheduling conflicts.
Louis C.K. originally auditioned for the role played by Andrew Dice Clay. Woody Allen found Louis too endearing for the part and offered him another.
The film was released in the US in limited release in six cinemas in New York and Los Angeles, grossing $612,767 in its first three days, thereby setting a box office record among Woody Allen's films.
Of all the actors, only Kate Blanchett and Sally Hawkins had a complete script in hand during filming.
The costume designer, Susie Benzinger, had a budget of only $35,000. Just one Hermes bag worn by Jasmine cost more than that entire amount. As a result, it was borrowed for the duration of filming, as were most of the designer outfits.
The first Woody Allen film in which two main American characters are played by non-native Americans (Australian Kate Blanchett and British Sally Hawkins).
When the women are in the garden at Chili's, Ginger's legs change position between shots. They are sometimes crossed and sometimes not.
During an argument between Jasmine and Dwight in the car, it can be noticed that her shoulder seatbelt is turned in a different direction after a shot change.
When Hal is in the kitchen after the birthday party, Jasmine tells him about Raylin. At that moment, an open bottle of wine is visible on the table, but when Jasmine walks into the room to get more wine in the next shot, the same bottle is in her hands.
This is Woody Allen's third film to use a widescreen anamorphic format (2.35:1) (the first being "Manhattan" in 1979, and the second, "Something's Gotta Give" in 2003). Unlike previous films that used anamorphic lenses, this film was shot using spherical optics in "Super-35" format.
The film's plot is similar to Tennessee Williams' famous American play "A Streetcar Named Desire."
