"A lovely, haunting work from a filmmaker decades into a singular career and clearly feeling ever more conscious of his own mortality."—Zachary Barnes, The Wall Street Journal
"If Pain and Glory was a reckoning with self and Parallel Mothers a reckoning with Spain, The Room Next Door is a reckoning with the entire world."—Drew Gregory, Autostraddle
"The Room Next Door is an alternately rapturous and ponderous meditation on mortality, though in a very Almodóvarian fashion."—Alison Willmore, New York Magazine
Blue Carpet Dash Film
Join us for a special Cinema Salon screening of the film on Tuesday, January 21 with a post-screening discussion with Senior Center member Frank Murray, retired teacher of literature, philosophy, and film.
Ingrid (Julianne Moore) and Martha (Tilda Swinton) 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.
