Winner of the Venice Film Festival's Golden Lion—their top prize—Pedro Almodóvar's first English language feature stars the remarkable Julianne Moore and Tilda Swinton. Ingrid (Moore) and Martha (Swinton) were close friends in their youth, when they worked together at the same magazine. Ingrid went on to become an autofiction novelist while Martha became a war reporter, and they were separated by the circumstances of life. After years out of touch, they meet again in an extreme but strangely sweet situation: Martha has been diagnosed with terminal cancer, and she wants Ingrid to be nearby for her last moments. "Even with its preoccupation with death, The Room Next Door is not a dour film. In fact, it’s rather optimistic, celebrating the beauties of life and meaningful connection in the face of death with a thoughtful, pensive tone."—Entertainment Weekly.
