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.
It would be hard to put Julianne Moore and Tilda Swinton in any film and have it be bad. Pedro Almodóvar is a genius so ... this is a no brainer of a masterpiece 👍🏾
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.
Oh wow.
This also is visually stunning. His work always is, but this has a crispness that's a little different.
The scene of with the house in the background looks so much like Wyeth's Christina's World that it must be intentional.

I love when a new Almodóvar comes out, because it always leads me to rewatching some of his other works first.
I can't think of another "high art" director whose work I've rewatched so often, but I just love losing myself in his theories of life, memory, and notions of the self.
