Official trailer for #TheRoomNextDoor, the first English language feature by beloved Spanish filmmaker #PedroAlmodóvar.
Ingrid and Martha 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 of being out of touch, they meet again in an extreme but strangely sweet situation.
SO THERE with you. ❤️ Any new Almodóvar is an excuse to drop and run for it, but this cast is going to be exceptional. I can't wait to see how his cadence of storytelling plays out in an English-lang context.
@MLClark I couldn't say. It's based on an English language book so I don't imagine there will be much different about how it comes across. Pedro's style and vision will come through on it's own no matter the language.
😂 I was just going through her catalogue myself! Definitely going to pick up one of these books for the general mood of her worlds before watching this film - but not the source text itself. I don't want to get distracted from whatever Almodóvar decides to do with it!
@MLClark Same!
@MLClark Sigrid Nunez seems like quite an amazing voice all on her own.
