The Room Next Door

Synopsis

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 colors, Spanish auteur Pedro Almodóvar’s English-language feature debut attests to his universal fluency in provocative filmmaking.
