Separation, scripted by and starring Jane Arden, concerns the inner life of a woman during a period of breakdown marital, and possibly mental. Her past and (possible) future are revealed through a fragmented but brilliantly achieved narrative, in which dreams and desires are as real as the swinging London of the film's setting.

Dual separation in terms of loss that we should mourn? (We have lost meaningful conventional film. Who will build it for us?). Or dual emancipation, which is equally hopelessly painful as it is redemptive? Jane Arden's dual approach in the intentions of feminism and "antipsychiatry" symbolically intensifies in the counter-movement of separation, which is the collision of the object of female and psychotic emancipation in the form of a single character - the psychiatrist-husband, whose dual paternalism disappears in the movement of the woman's detachment from his and reason's rules, and in the movement of the film being liberated from the rules of the Hollywood forefather. The collapse of these two poles in one film character thus foreshadows the collapse of bourgeois ideas about the one correct film, ideas that only see otherness as nonsense anyway, just as they see "common sense" as a deviation from normality in a madman.
