The Room Next Door

Pedro Almodovar · 2024 CE · Film · Spanish · Contemporary

A novelist learns that a friend from her magazine years, later a war correspondent, is dying, and is asked to be in the next room of a rented house upstate on the day she chooses to take the pill she has bought. Neither of them is sentimental about it and both keep talking about everything else. Almodovar's first feature in English, from Sigrid Nunez's novel, which this archive does not hold.
