Before seeing Pedro Almodóvar’s latest, The Room Next Door, at the Festival, discover (or fall back in love with) one of his greatest contributions to cinema.

Academy Award-winner for Original Screenplay and hailed as one of the Top 100 Films of all time by Time Magazine’s Richard Schickel, this 2003 masterpiece from Pedro Almodóvar (All About My Mother, Volver) the story centers on two men (Benigno and Marco) who almost meet while watching a dance performance.

They meet later at a private clinic where Benigno is the caregiver for Alicia, a beautiful dance student who lies in a coma. Marco is there to visit his girlfriend, Lydia, a famous matador, also rendered motionless. As the men hold vigil over the women they love, the story unfolds in flashback and flash-forward as their lives become ever more entwined, and their relationships move toward a surprising conclusion.

“Combines sensuality, spirituality and sheer joy in storytelling in marvelously harmonious proportions.”
