Rebecca Rubin Senior Film and Media Reporter Pedro Almodóvar’s “The Room Next Door” has been tapped as the Centerpiece selection for the 62nd New York Film Festival.
The comedic drama, starring Julianne Moore and Tilda Swinton, will make its U.S. premiere at Alice Tully Hall on Oct. 4. “The Room Next Door” is Almodóvar’s first English-language feature film.
The director has described the New York-set movie as a story “about a very imperfect mother and her resentful daughter, who live separate lives because of a profound misunderstanding.” Swinton plays Martha, the “imperfect mother” and war journalist, while Moore plays a best-selling writer, Ingrid, who rekindles her relationship with Martha after losing touch for a number of years.
Sony Pictures Classics is backing the “The Room Next Door,” which will world premiere at the Venice Film Festival. “I am delighted that ‘The Room Next Door’ will be the Centerpiece of the New York Film Festival,” Almodóvar said in a statement. “This festival has been my bridge to New York audiences for decades, so it only felt natural that the two protagonists go see a film at the Alice Tully Hall in one of the scenes of the movie.
