THE ROOM NEXT DOOR
Bestselling author Ingrid learns that an old friend, war reporter Martha, is dying of cancer. They’ve not seen each other for years, but they are soon warmly reunited. Then Martha asks for Ingrid’s help; to be with her while she has one last relaxing weekend before taking euthanasia medication while Ingrid waits in the room next door so she can plausibly tell police she didn’t know what Martha was doing. Concerns about ethics and legality mix with the pair’s shared history and the unearthing of hidden secrets to threaten their newly-rediscovered closeness.
Starring Julianne Moore, Tilda Swinton, John Turturro
AWARDS AND FESTIVALS
European Film Awards: Nominee, 4 awards inc European Actress & Screenwriter
REVIEWS
"The hot Latin lovers have been replaced by pink snow, and the homoeroticism has been dialled down, but this is Almodóvar’s America and it’s a delight." ★★★★★ Kaleem Aftab, Time Out
"...luxuriously self-aware performances from Julianne Moore and Tilda Swinton." ★★★★ Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
"And despite a certain propensity for melodrama, Almodóvar restrains himself, making a film that is as understated and lovely as his leading ladies’ performances." ★★★★ Jo-Ann Titmarsh, London Evening Standard
"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
ACCESSIBILITY
Subtitles
This film will be presented with Descriptive Subtitles. In addition to reproducing dialogue, these subtitles include additional non-dialogue sounds available to a hearing audience, e.g. "(sighs)" or "(door creaks)" and song lyrics. In our experience, guests do not find the subtitles distracting, especially as the majority of our films are subtitled foreign language films.
Hull Independent Cinema is working towards making our films more accessible. We have decided to present all our films with Descriptive Subtitles where available.
AGE RATING
THE ROOM NEXT DOOR is rated 12A. Under 12s must be accompanied by an adult. For more information, please see the film's page on the BBFC website.
Programme Details
The venue is open all day, so why not come along early to grab a drink and a snack? The programme run time includes an allowance for introductions and up to three trailers. While we will endeavour to accommodate latecomers, this may not always be possible. Please note that we reserve the right to refuse entry, without a refund, to anyone arriving after the advertised start time.
Please note the pedestrian entrance to Princes Quay is either via the Quayside entrance (next to Nandos) or via the footpath from Waterhouse Lane / Bonus Arena. Both entrances off Carr Lane are closed after 6pm. The car park entrance remains unaffected.
