THE ROOM NEXT DOOR, Thursday 20 March, 7:30pm

By December 21, 2024January 23rd, 2025Homepage, Season 27, Winter 2025

Ingrid (Julianne Moore) and Martha (Tilda 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 of being out of touch, they meet again in an extreme but strangely sweet situation.

Anchored by a pair of terrific performances swathed in vivid colours, Spanish auteur Pedro Almodóvar’s English-language feature debut attests to his universal fluency in provocative filmmaking.

Winner – Golden Lion, Best Film, Venice International Film Festival 2024

“The Room Next Door” showcases a carefully choreographed dance between two Oscar winners that elevates both of their performances to greatness. – Boston Globe
