“I will not go out in mortifying anguish.” Sony Picture Classics has revealed their final official US trailer for The Room Next Door, the first English language feature from Spanish filmmaker Pedro Almodóvar. It’s already playing in theaters in Europe now and also opens in the US next month in the awards season. The film won the Golden Lion top prize at the 2024 Venice Film Festival a few months back (my review). Adapted from “What Are You Going Through” by Sigrid Nunez. Ingrid & 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. Starring Julianne Moore as Ingrid and Tilda Swinton as Martha, Alessandro Nivola, John Turturro, Alex Høgh Andersen, Melina Matthews, Juan Diego Botto, Victoria Luengo, and Esther McGregor. One of my favorite indie gems of 2024 and I highly recommend catching up with it and spending time with these lovely ladies.
Here’s the official US trailer for Pedro Almodóvar’s film The Room Next Door, direct from YouTube:
