Woody Allen's ode to Ingmar Bergman. It shows the multi faceted life of an academic (Wild Strawberries), the relation between two strangers (Persona) and a loveless marriage (Scenes From a Marriage). Approiately photographed by Bergman's D.P Sven Nykvist

Never in a Woody Allen drama have I seen such a sharp ensemble. Gena Rowlands is superb in the leading role, and Sandy Dennis performance as the sarcastic hurt friend is brilliant and inspiring.

I love the scene with Gena Rowlands and Harris Yulin talking about their feelings in the past...very sad and heartbreaking.

Gena Rowlands, best known for giving outstanding outward performances in John Cassavetes films, gives a heartbreaking, understated performance in Another Woman. This is some of her best, and most under-appreciated, work. This film also features a short but memorable performance from the great Sandy Dennis in one of her last screen appearances.

I couldn't agree with Douglas's comment more. Though ambitious, there's something incredibly genuine and ultimately heartbreaking about it. I love the scene with the psychiatrist at the end, where Marion's avenue for talking to Hope is suddenly closed off. You can take Interiors; Another Woman is my favorite Allen drama.

I find this more genuinely sentimental than most Bergman. The dialogue is rich, the memories within memories are imaginative and original, and Gena Rowland's Marion is absolutely tragic. I always thought Woody Allen's musical sensibilities were so good. He uses Saties's "Gymnopédie No. 3" in this film as a reoccurring theme for Marion. Wow. Just devastatingly perfect.

The purest of bullshit, easily Allen's worst, most pompous and pretentious film. Whining over-intellectual characters who've never done a day's work in their lives get all philosophical over the messes they've made of their lives, and it is just unwatchable. The worst of Allen's Faux Bergman Brown Period SERIOUS films, and that's really saying something.
