Review of Another Woman (1988) by Lady D — 25 Jun 2011
I adore Gena Rowlands and believe that she is one of the most under-rated and overlooked actors of all time. This film is just as forgotten as some of her incredible performances are.
Woody Allen doing Ingmar Bergman is about as appealing as Ingmar Bergman doing himself (Ahem!). By this I mean that I find a lot of Bergmans 'go to' methods (lengthy wordy dialogue, voice over and less than subtle cinematography) often annoying. Allen has taken them and whilst I still have issues with the voice over, he's toned them down; the dialogue still feeling like his own.
Gena Rowlands, who is (as always) wonderful and the strength of her captivating performance can make me forgive some of the films problems.
