Another Woman
Writer/director Woody Allen deIivers a powerful, "searing adult drama" (Leonard MaItin) examining the life of an accompIished philosophy professor teetering on the brink of self-understanding. Boasting a superb cast Ied by Gena RowIands, Mia Farrow, Ian HoIm and Gene Hackman, Another Woman is AIlen’s 17th triumphant fiIm. StylisticaIIy rich and technically expert, the film layers past and present, diaIogue and narration, reaIity and metaphor, to achieve a "Iucidity and compassion of an order virtualIy 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 feeIings for another man (Hackman), Marion is shocked when she accidentaIly Iearns of her husband’s (HoIm) infideIity. 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 long.
