Meet Ingrid & Martha. Sony Classics has revealed a first look teaser trailer for The Room Next Door, the first ever English language feature from beloved Spanish filmmaker Pedro Almodóvar. A few of his recent short films have been in English (including The Human Voice and Strange Way of Life) but this is the first feature that’s entirely in English; adapted from “What Are You Going Through” by Sigrid Nunez. The plot deals with the rift between two old friends Martha, a very imperfect mother and war correspondent, and the author Ingrid. They were close friends in their youth, working at the same magazine, but now they’re writing entirely different things and have drifted apart it seems. The drama stars Julianne Moore as Ingrid, and Tilda Swinton as Martha, with Alessandro Nivola, John Turturro, Alex Høgh Andersen, Melina Matthews, Juan Diego Botto, Victoria Luengo, and Esther McGregor. Almodóvar’s The Room Next Door is premiering soon at the 2024 Venice Film Festival in competition, and it will also screen at the New York & Toronto Film Festivals this fall. Of course this looks gorgeous, especially all snow drifting in the air. // Continue Reading ›
