Another Woman
Overview
Marion is a woman who has learned to shield herself from her emotions. She rents an apartment to work undisturbed on her new book, but by some acoustic anomaly she can hear all that is said in the next apartment in which a psychiatrist holds his office. When she hears a young woman tell that she finds it harder and harder to bear her life, Marion starts to reflect on her own life. After a series of events she comes to understand how her unemotional attitude towards the people around her affected them and herself.
Director and cast
Critics on Rotten Tomatoes
Top critics, in their words
A piece of posturing phoniness designed to awe spectators who like their psychodramas third-hand and upscale.
Mr. Allen is becoming an immensely sophisticated director, but this screenplay is in need of a merciless literary editor.
The storytelling is fluid and dramatic -- almost theatrical -- the film glows with light and the design is economically artful.
Once again, Allen has mistaken unfunny for serious, feeling the breath of immortality on his shoulder.
