The Room Next Door
Pedro Almodóvar achieved a historic triumph at the 81st Venice International Film Festival 2024, taking home the Golden Lion with his new masterpiece The Room Next Door (La Stanza Accanto), a film that moved and surprised critics and audiences with its emotional intensity and the complexity of the themes it tackles. The Spanish director, already known for his deeply intimate stories and his sensitivity in portraying human dramas, returns with a work that directly addresses issues such as euthanasia, illness, and pain, but also friendship, forgiveness, and reconciliation.
