Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

SincereFinest disgusting, overrated, pointless

Brendon Jones It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Candida It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

bell-benn "I realize you have been hurt. If I've done anything wrong, I'm sorry. Please forgive me. I accept your condemnation." "You are a member of Amnesty International and the ACLU. And the head of the philosophy department. Impossible!" These are two of my favorite quotes from the Woody Allen film, Another Woman. I like them each equally well but for different reasons. The first is such an outrageous statement by a phony pomposity of an ego so far gone as to defy augury and the other hits a little too close to home with the exception of being the head of the philosophy department. Woody Allen strikes gold here with his study of intellectual angst and mid life crisis. It would not be too much of an exaggeration to declare this film to be a mini-masterpiece.I ran across this neglected, forgotten and, probably one you never heard of mini-masterpiece while scrolling through HULU one night looking for something decent to watch. Oh, a film by Woody Allen! Let me check it out. Probably seen it before but what the heck? So I cued it up and started watching. Curiously enough I didn't remember anything about it and was soon captivated and mesmerized by the haunting voice-over by one of it's stars and the brilliant cinematography of one of the worlds foremost cinematographers.Another Woman was released in late 1988 and runs for 81 minutes. It was written and directed by Woody Allen. It stars Gena Rowlands as Marion Post, a middle aged philosophy teacher who is on sabbatical to write a book. It is her voice-over we hear as the movie begins. She is describing her life as accomplished and reasonably well settled.She rents an apartment downtown to work on her book without distraction and discovers that she is able to overhear the conversation between a patient (Mia Farrow) and her psychiatrist through the heating vents coming from the adjoining apartment. At first Marion blocks off the sound with pillows but later she starts to listen in. The patient is despondent, pregnant, and thinking of ending her life. Her name ironically is Hope.This conversation gets Marion to thinking about her own life and through series of coincidences, ruminations and, flashbacks, she encounters people from previous times in her life and she discovers she is not as happy as she thought she was.This is a film of introspection and marvelous performances. A central theme of the film is that people can transform their lives to become more fulfilled. To say the film was Bergmanesque is rather stating the obvious. It has long been known that Woody has been greatly influenced by the Swedish master, Ingmar Bergman. Some say that this film resembles Wild Strawberries but I think it is more Persona like, which was also photographed by Sven Nykvist, Bergman's favored cinematographer.This is a wonderful film which I highly recommend.

chazz46-2 Maybe this movie is showing how persons who manage to suppress their emotions can less painfully experience all of life's problems, because they do not have to relentlessly talk about them, see psychiatrists, and ventilate emotional affectations onto everyone else - and suffer because of the emotional triggers. All of the other characters are just extensions of the Farrow character,Hope, and her emotionality which leads to the need to see a psychiatrist. Both Marion and her husband, the cardiologist, seem to pass through life unaffected by all the negative aspects since there is a void in their emotional makeup which lends to their compatibility. Their overall constitution seems to fit comfortably with each other (and there is no suggestion that the last "other woman" with whom Marion's husband is having an affair is demonstratively over emotional like the Hackman character was with Marion). Perhaps one might suggest that, regardless of one's constitution ( ie emotional,cold, and analytical), and because EVERYONE is doomed to endless conflict during life, characters like Marion and her husband will suffer far less than the norm. There is no perfect world and it would seem that humanity might benefit (ie suffer LESS) from a concerted effort in teaching, promoting, and rewarding cold and analytical personae as well as suppression of individual emotionality. Since this concept is silly, I would simply say that people like Marion and her husband have an advantage at gliding through life with less pain and we should leave them alone to live it. There may be no merit in forcing emotionality onto those who do not have it.

TheLittleSongbird Of the full-on serious drama films(Interiors, September and Another Woman), Another Woman is for me the best one. Interiors is still a great film but an acquired taste and it did ramble a little at times and September is also good and was better on re-watch. Another Woman is such a beautiful film and Allen has probably not done a more emotionally affecting film, and is close to perfect. It looks gorgeous especially with Sven Nykvist's typically wonderful cinematography and the dark and surreal colours are also eye-catching. The music is some of the most understated of any of Allen's films and good thing too, anything louder would have spoilt the mood, the piano as the instrument couldn't have been a more perfect choice. The script is incredibly thought-provoking and reflective, as well as usually with Allen painfully truthful and the odd bit of subtle humour, and the story is very layered and told with much intensity and genuine emotional impact. It is by far the most poignant Allen film and the one I personally connected with the most. There's a definite Ingmar Bergman influence here, Interiors and September also did, but never in a way that feels ripped off, more of a homage if you will. The characters are developed beautifully and easy to connect with(compared to other characters in Allen's films), and Allen's direction has never been more intricate. The cast are all top-drawer but Gena Rowlands is stunning- one of her, perhaps her very, best performances- and her haunting narration sublime. Ian Holm is delightfully priggish and Gene Hackman is remarkably moving as a conflicted character, one that is different to other characters he's done. Mia Farrow's role is rather small but she is very restrained and plaintive and appropriately so. Blythe Danner also gives one of her better performances in one of her best films and John Housemann, Sandy Dennis and David Ogden Stiers give more than able support. The ending is somewhat abrupt but incredibly moving. Overall, a beautiful film and among his better films, and Allen to me has never done anything more poignant. 10/10 Bethany Cox

Vihren Mitev I'm not sure about the translation of the title, but that's the movie is good to be watched I'm sure. It is not really for the taste of the masses, because talks about people celebrating fifty years of age who gradually turned his gazed back to the past where they find only old failures and lost moments of happiness.A second focus, it's about the life of a woman, a professor of philosophy encompassing loneliness slowly realizing it into her second marriage. Completely absorbed in her successful career and relying on the correctness of the cold and sober thought, she remembers how she escaped from the uncertainty of the adventure, which has been offered by true love, choosing the safety of the moral, ethical and pragmatic. Recalls also to have an abortion before that.When things between her and her second husband did not received (catching him with another woman), the protagonist seeks refuge in solitude, additions to her book and thinking about things that have happened to her over the years. This brought her to questions such as whether the memory is something you have or something you've lost. And whether happiness is living with someone or moment of a day alone with him without the interference of others.http://vihrenmitevmovies.blogspot.com/
