ANOTHER WOMAN (France) In a film originally produced for French television, actress Nathalie Mann is very good as Lea, who was once a man named Nicholas who abandoned his Parisian wife and children for a new, transsexual life in Geneva. Back in Paris after 10 years, Lea wants a relationship with her children, but the ex-wife isn't exactly thrilled. Although director Jerome Foulon lets his film's earnest and overly predictable third act drag on, this high-toned melodrama is elegantly produced, and kind of fun in the midsection, when secrets are revealed and faces are slapped. (Directors Guild of America, Sun., July 15, 8 p.m.) (CW)
