ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
***Winner of the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival***
The companion to the new movie by Pedro Almodóvar, his first filmed entirely in English, starring Tilda Swinton and Julianne Moore.
A gift for movie lovers.
Ingrid and Martha were close friends when they were young. They worked at the same magazine, but Ingrid went on to become a novelist and Martha a war reporter. They drifted apart but, many years after losing touch, they meet again in New York in dire but strangely touching circumstances. Martha, an imperfect mother who is estranged from her daughter, is gravely ill. Ingrid becomes her companion for the next few months, during which time they have long discussions about death, friendship and sexual pleasure as hedges against the cruelty and horror of a world bent on destruction.
This edition includes the Spanish-language script for the film and an epilogue by Almodóvar containing his never-before-published reflections about grief. It also features color stills from the film, scenes from the set and excerpts from the storyboard. The Room Next Door is the perfect companion to the film and a treat for movie fans and cultural aficionados.
