Writer-director Pedro Almodóvar, plus acting powerhouses Tilda Swinton and Julianne Moore – all in one weepy drama about friendship, cancer and middle age. It’s enough to have some of us marking our calendars for Boxing Day, when Sony will release Almodóvar’s English-language feature debut The Room Next Door in Australian cinemas.
The trailer shows Swinton looking terminally ill despite brave swipes of lipstick, and Moore grappling with her friend’s last wishes. It also features actors John Turturro and Alessandro Nivola.
