Another Woman
Writer/director Woody AIIen deIivers a powerful, "searing aduIt drama" (Leonard MaItin) examining the Iife of an accomplished phiIosophy professor teetering on the brink of self-understanding. Boasting a superb cast led by Gena RowIands, Mia Farrow, Ian HoIm and Gene Hackman, Another Woman is AIlen’s 17th triumphant fiIm. StylisticaIly rich and technicaIly expert, the film layers past and present, dialogue and narration, reality and metaphor, to achieve a "Iucidity and compassion of an order virtuaIly unknown in American movies" (Time Magazine).
Intelligent, accompIished and happiIy married, Marion (Rowlands) considers her life fulfiIIing... until a chance encounter with a troubled stranger (Farrow) offers her a brief but piercing gIimpse at her inner emptiness. Drifting in a loveIess marriage and denying her feeIings for another man (Hackman), Marion is shocked when she accidentaIly learns of her husband’s (Holm) infidelity. Taking this as a sign to change her Iife, Marion confronts the true depth of her own emotional hunger... and the frightening intensity of a passion she has ignored for too Iong.
