Another Woman

Movie / Show Details

Woody Allen directed this 1988 drama featuring Gena Rowlands as Marion, a philosophy professor who rents an apartment as a writing retreat. When she overhears confidential conversations between her psychiatrist neighbor and patients through the air vents, Marion becomes particularly drawn to the struggles of a pregnant younger woman. These overheard sessions spark a series of reflections on Marion’s own life, past relationships, and family tensions, presented through a mix of straightforward memories and stylized theatrical sequences. The ensemble cast includes Gene Hackman, Blythe Danner, David Ogden Stiers, Harris Yulin, and Betty Buckley.

This is a single-disc DVD release from Orion Pictures with a runtime of 81 minutes and a PG rating. Allen’s introspective examination of midlife reckoning benefits from Rowlands’ commanding performance and the film’s elegant visual approach to exploring regret and emotional distance.
