There is a reason why Woody Allen chose to make the Gena Rowlands character in "Another Woman" be an analytic philosopher who was critical of Heidegger. Part of the point was that her very philosophical world view made it easier for her to be inauthentic. Now, my reading explains why Woody includes the detail that she had made her recent reputation on a book critical of Heidegger, and ceteris parebus (I love it when we talk philosophical) being able to account for that undoubtedly self-consciously chosen detail in the film a a plus for any interpretation.
