Another Woman - 1988 - 7/10

Professor Pope takes a year off to work on a book.
Her apartment, undergoing construction, is too distracting, so she rents an office space.
Where, via the HVAC duct, she overhears a young woman and her psychiatrist.
The sessions are painful, and eavesdropping, Professor begins to identify.
Partly with the despair, partly by identifying herself as something of an oppressor.
One of Woody Allen’s serious films, filmed in subdued colors.
Quiet, thoughtful, yet brimming with self-identity and perceptions.
Casual viewers desiring his comedies might pass on this.
