I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Very best movie i ever watch
Memorable, crazy movie
The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
Gena Rowlands lives in her own world, really. She is married but is self-sufficient and, as she will soon find out, her world is coming apart. She is a very intelligent and well-educated woman but is one of those people who can't see past the end of their nose. In writing her latest book, she rents office space for quiet but is distracted by a voice confessing to a psychiatrist. She is enamored by the vulnerable and lost voice (Mia Farrow) and in the process learns about herself. In dealing with family members, her eyes are slowly beginning to open to see her own flaws and how to forgive herself and others. Gena Rowlands gives a spectacular performance in this introspective, insightful and intuitive Woody Allen film. It's beyond me why Gena was never recognized by Oscar for this film, or how this film never has gotten as much recognition as other Woody Allen films, like Hannah and Her Sisters and Annie Hall and even Interiors. This is a film not just for women but for all who demand intelligence and something challenging and worthwhile in the movies they see. No one can really write films like Woody Allen, where less is more. This short film will leave you thinking about your own life and how you get along with others. A tour de force for Gena Rowlands and Woody Allen!
Woody Allen's ghastly drama is so uninvolving the viewer is left stunned at it's utter badness. Gene Rowlands is an academic writing a new book and finds that the studio she's renting allows her to overhear some painful conversations taking place in the psychiatrist's office next door. She soon re-evaluates her own life and realizes that she is not a good person and the people in her orbit hate her. There is snotty husband Ian Holm, underachieving brother Harris Yulin, bitter best friend Sandy Dennis and truth-telling sister-in-law Frances Conroy. Rowlands has so much thrown at her, it's a surprise she doesn't just kill herself. There's not a single sympathetic character in this whole 81 minute angst ridden treadmill test. It's cold, humorless and stodgy. It's a pseudo- intellectuals idea of a Bergman film that fails at every level. Pretentious and then some ---this film has to hold some sort of record for its continuous mention of poet Rainer Maria Rilke. Blech! Gene Hackman, Blythe Danner, Martha Plimpton, Betty Buckley, John Houseman, Philip Bosco, David Ogden Stiers and Mia Farrow contribute absolutely zero with their small roles.
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/
Gena Rowlands gives a marvelous performance as a woman coming face to face with her reality in "Another Woman," a 1988 Woody Allen film also starring Mia Farrow, Ian Holm, Blythe Danner, John Housman,Sandy Dennis, Gene Hackman, Betty Buckley, Martha Plimpton, Gretchen Conroy, and Harris Yulin.Rowlands narrates as well as stars as Marion Post, a brilliant woman and expert in German literature who is on sabbatical from teaching to write a book. In order to accomplish this, she rents an apartment which happens to be right next to a therapist's office. The walls are then and her apartment and the therapist's office share a vent. Marion, in spite of herself, becomes very interested in the sessions of a young pregnant woman (Farrow) and starts to analyze herself. This leads to some shocking and painful realizations.With a cast like this, it's hard to miss, and Allen doesn't. This is a character study, and while the film moves slowly, it manages to keep one's attention.Allen does a beautiful job with this - Marion lives in a world where she hasn't allowed herself much real passion and feeling; therefore, he always has her dressed in gray."Another Woman" here actually has several meanings - Marion herself was another woman when she and her husband (Ian Holm) first met, as he was married; the Farrow character represents another woman; and Marion realizes that there is "another woman" inside her who hasn't quite emerged. There's one more "another woman," but that's all I'll say.Reminiscent of Bergman, Allen here has done an American take on him, so it just feels a little lighter than, say, "Autumn Sonata" (what doesn't?).Very special film about choices, regrets, aging, and hope.
