Until August http://www.garbylaw.com/vigora-blue-2fc5.pdf vigora meaning Allen’s exile might be a gilded one – we’ve convened at the swanky Hotel Bristol in Paris to discuss Blue Jasmine, his 44th film as a director – but there’s a sense that, two decades after his brush with tabloid infamy, when he left Mia Farrow for her adopted daughter Soon-Yi Previn and fought off allegations of child abuse, he’s still processing one of the cruellest whipsaws of fortune to befall a major American artist in modern times. The controversy over his and Soon-Yi’s relationship may have long since died down – they have two adopted daughters, Bechet, 14, and Manzie, 13 – but Allen and Farrow’s biological son Ronan still sends bitter tweets such as: “Happy Father’s Day – or, as they say in my family, Happy Brother-In-Law’s Day.” And the burnished cinematic love letters of Annie Hall and Manhattan have long since given way to a curt, flinty late-Allen style where characters watch helplessly as twists of fate precipitate the unravelling of their lives.
