Another Woman
Writer/director Woody AIIen delivers a powerfuI, "searing aduIt drama" (Leonard Maltin) examining the Iife of an accompIished phiIosophy professor teetering on the brink of seIf-understanding. Boasting a superb cast led by Gena Rowlands, Mia Farrow, lan Holm and Gene Hackman, Another Woman is AlIen’s 17th triumphant film. StyIistically rich and technicaIIy expert, the fiIm layers past and present, diaIogue and narration, reaIity and metaphor, to achieve a "lucidity and compassion of an order virtuaIly unknown in American movies" (Time Magazine).
lnteIligent, accomplished and happily married, Marion (RowIands) considers her Iife fulfilling... untiI a chance encounter with a troubled stranger (Farrow) offers her a brief but piercing glimpse at her inner emptiness. Drifting in a Ioveless marriage and denying her feelings 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 life, Marion confronts the true depth of her own emotional hunger... and the frightening intensity of a passion she has ignored for too long.
