“The Room Next Door” Trailer Unveils Julianne Moore and Tilda Swinton in Pedro Almodóvar’s Latest
It’s a trio made in film lover heaven—Spanish writer/director extraordinaire Pedro Almodóvar and Oscar-winners Julianne Moore and Tilda Swinton teamed up for the auteur’s first English-language feature, The Room Next Door. Sony Pictures Classics has shared the first peek from Almodóvar’s latest ahead of its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival on September 2.
The Room Next Door is centered on former close friends and colleagues Martha (Swinton) and Ingrid (Moore), who met while working at the same magazine when they were younger. Their careers took divergent paths, with Ingrid becoming an autofiction novelist and Martha a war reporter—hard to find two more disparate forms of writing than that—whose lives converge once again.
This is the first film for Almodóvar since 2021’s Parallel Mothers, which similarly made its world premiere in Venice and earned Penelope Cruz the Volip Cup for Best Actress. Almodóvar is again working with phenomenal performers in Moore and Swinton and a supporting cast that includes John Turturo, Alessandro Nivola, Melina Matthews, and Juan Diego Botto.
The Room Next Door is slated for a December 20 release. Check out the teaser below.
