Product Description
Erica seems to have it all - a comfortable home, an interesting job in a Manhattan art galley, a bright teenage daughter, and a loving, successful husband. Then, suddenly, her life is shattered. Her "perfect" husband walks out, and she is left frightened and alone to face the chancy singles world. How does a vital, contemporary woman pick up the pieces and start over?

Nowhere is this more evident than in AN UNMARRIED WOMAN, which may well be his finest film—although HARRY AND TONTO is my personal favorite, if I had to choose. But in this film, in which Jill Clayburgh gives the performance of her career, he reveals both the inner & outer life of an upper-middleclass woman whose husband suddenly leaves her for another woman, shattering what she once thought was so secure, leaving her to reshape her life beside her strikingly precocious teenaged daughter & with the support of her small circle of women friends.
There's an easiness & effortlessness to this film, which often feels more like cinéma vérité—and indeed more than a little of it was improvised along the way, as the wonderful commentary track by Mazursky & Clayburgh informs us. (That commentary, by the way, is a model of what good film commentary should be.) There are no real villains or heroes here, just very real people, struggling to make sense of their unmoored place in the world as it changes around them.
Some see the protagonist's involvement with an English artist (the superb Alan Bates) as an easy cliché. I don't think it is. Their romance develops organically & naturally—a quality that's a Mazursky trademark—and it doesn't tie up neatly at the end. As with the film as a whole, this all feels very true to life as it was lived then. Does that make the film "dated" as some dismiss it? Not in the least. It illuminates its time, but its human emotions aren't restricted to that time. They're complex, contradictory, and always honest. I don't know how much more one can ask from a film!
I'm so glad to see it getting the Criterion treatment, which it richly deserves. Most highly recommended!
