Pedro Almodóvar’s ‘The Room Next Door’, which was officially picked up by Warner Bros. Pictures, will make it’s English-language feature debut when it will be released by Sony Pictures Classics domestically, according to an official announcement from the studio.
The film will star Tilda Swinton, Julianne Moore and John Turturro and will release across much of Europe, including in Spain, Italy, Germany and the United Kingdom as well as across the Nordics as well as Central and Eastern Europe, although it will exclude Poland.
Additionally, the studio plans to bow the film in Latin America and some Asian markets, including Japan with Sony Pictures Classics having the domestic rights to The Room Next Door, which marks the first English-language feature from the Oscar-winning Spanish director.
According to the official synopsis: “The Room Next Door” follows the story of Martha, a flawed mother working as a war reporter, and Ingrid, her spiteful daughter who is an auto-fictional novelist. While the mother and daughter are separated by a serious misunderstanding, another woman is the keeper of their pain and bitterness.
“The film addresses the endless cruelty of war, the very different ways in which the two female authors approach and write about reality, death, friendship and sexual pleasure as the best allies in the fight against horror,” Warner Bros. Pictures wrote in an official release.
“The studio added that the film evokes “the sweet awakening with the chirping of birds, in a house built in the middle of a nature reserve in New England, where the two friends live in an extreme and strangely sweet situation.”
