Summary of Conversation(s) with Other Women

Aaron Eckhart and Helena Bonham Carter give dazzling performances in Hans Canosa's CONVERSATIONS WITH OTHER WOMEN. Playing unnamed characters, Eckhart and Bonham Carter meet up at a New York City wedding and start flirting in a back room. Slowly it becomes evident that they have some kind of past together. As they consider spending the night in her hotel room -- and how that will affect their current lives -- secrets are revealed and futures are put in jeopardy. CONVERSATIONS is primarily a two-character drama, an acting tour de force for Eckhart (ERIN BROCKOVICH, THANK YOU FOR NOT SMOKING) and Bonham Carter (A ROOM WITH A VIEW, THE WINGS OF A DOVE). Director Canosa (ALMA MATER) shot the film in dual frame, shooting every scene with two cameras in order to capture different emotions and angles, and then projects them in split screen. Thus, the two frames sometimes show the same action from differing perspectives, and other times the present can be seen on one screen and the past on the other (as well as an imagined past, present, or future). The split-screen-effect results in longer takes and stronger emotions, allowing the audience inside the minds of these two not necessarily very likable characters. Gabrielle Zevin's script is biting and cynical yet romantic, giving depth to the man and the woman even though the film is just them talking for nearly an hour and a half. The soundtrack features compelling songs by Carla Bruni and Rilo Kiley.

The fine acting and sexy chemistry between Bonham Carter and Eckhart make it work.
San Francisco Chronicle
A smart, sexy romantic drama, directed within an inch of its life by Hans Canosa.

Users Reviews

The editing in Conversations with Other Women makes its audience adjust to a new kind of perspective. The screen is separated into two squares in which two different parts of the story happen. In some instances this means nothing more than that...
Fantastic acting. Good story, though Id hope no 38-year-old women are really still that cruel. The split screen serves to smoosh more plot into a reasonably-sized movie, so its like a nice gift for people who can keep up.
