Another Woman is a 1988 American film directed by Woody Allen .
action
Marion Post rents an apartment so that she can work on her new book undisturbed. In fact, it's not as quiet there as Marion would like it to be. Through an air duct, she can overhear everything that is being said in the neighboring apartment. This is a psychiatrist's room. When she hears a young woman saying that she is finding it harder and harder to endure her life, Marion begins to think about her own life. She's only leading a loveless marriage and denies her feelings for Larry, whom she actually loves more than her husband Ken. She is a woman who suppresses her feelings or hides them from herself. After a few experiences, she begins to understand how her unemotional behavior towards others affects others and herself. Eventually she discovers that her husband is cheating on her. This makes her a different woman and separates herself from her husband and her own self-deception.
Trivia
- Originally Mia Farrow was supposed to play the character of Marion Post. However, since she was pregnant at the time, she could no longer do this. This is how Gena Rowlands got the role. Mia Farrow then got the role of Hope, the young woman at the psychiatrist.
- This film was the first of four collaborations between Woody Allen and Ingmar Bergman's preferred cameraman Sven Nykvist . The other three films are New York Stories ( 1989 ), Crime and Other Little Things ( 1989 ), and Celebrity - Beautiful, Rich, Famous ( 1998 ).
- This film was the last appearance of John Houseman as an actor in a motion picture.
criticism
- Much is reminiscent of “Another Woman”, as has often been pointed out, of Bergman's films. But apart from that, the film is primarily characterized by the captivating power of its leading actress. [...] A powerful and at the same time calm, level-headed film, which is certainly one of Allen's best. - Ulrich Behrens at www.filmzentrale.com
- With many flashbacks, narrated, top-class psychological chamber play à la Ingmar Bergman or John Cassavetes with only a few Allen jokes. (TV magazine Prisma )
- Lexicon of international film : The sensitive, multi-layered portrait of a woman and her life crisis, emulating the works of Ingmar Bergman, both visibly and in vain, so that the film appears "second hand" despite its independent qualities.
- The German Film and Media Assessment FBW in Wiesbaden awarded the film the rating particularly valuable.
