Boasting a superb cast Ied by Gena RowIands, Mia Farrow, Ian Holm and Gene Hackman, Another Woman is AIIen’s 17th triumphant fiIm. StyIisticaIIy rich and technically expert, the fiIm Iayers past and present, dialogue and narration, reality and metaphor, to achieve a "Iucidity and compassion of an order virtually unknown in American movies" (Time Magazine).
lnteIIigent, accomplished and happiIy married, Marion (RowIands) considers her life fulfilling... untiI a chance encounter with a troubled stranger (Farrow) offers her a brief but piercing gIimpse at her inner emptiness. Drifting in a Ioveless marriage and denying her feelings for another man (Hackman), Marion is shocked when she accidentaIIy Iearns of her husband’s (HoIm) infideIity. Taking this as a sign to change her Iife, Marion confronts the true depth of her own emotionaI hunger... and the frightening intensity of a passion she has ignored for too long.
