20 Dic Susjedna soba 2024 Full Movie In HD
Both had Julianne Moore in mind
Story
Ingrid and Martha were close friends in their youth, when they worked together at the same magazine. After years of not being in touch, they meet again in an extreme but strangely sweet situation. When Pedro Almodóvar sent Tilda Swinton the script, he asked her who should play Ingrid.

Almodóvar’s film worlds have always been interesting to inhabit, and his first English-language film is no exception, as all parts of the art world are beautifully present and represented: Literature is read (Joyce), books are never far away anyway, the architecture, the furniture, the paintings, the decoration, everything refers to an intellectually challenging world that every sophisticated being in this world would eagerly want to be a part of. However, despite this constant reference to works of art, the film feels empty and hollow, intellectually and emotionally uninteresting. The music by Iglesias is beautiful, the closing credits are essential.
For example, Swinton is a former war correspondent, but that never adds to the film’s interest
Almodóvar, and Moore and Swinton are two of the greatest actresses in the world, but the script is too simple to be transferred to a simply staged performance. The same goes for Moore, who is a writer, but that element is hardly addressed here. Another interesting part of the story is where Swinton seems to manipulate Moore into her guilt and good nature, but it’s also far too underdeveloped.
Almodóvar’s direction of both Moore and Swinton is generally too absent, making it hard to see what he wants from them
(Watch how Fincher perfectly fits Swinton’s small role in last year’s The Killer into the film, with great attention to body language and diction.) Here, characters and stories from the past pop in and out, yes, just like in real life, but that doesn’t make for compelling viewing. Turturro (Almodóvar?) is particularly helpless in this film, with not only uninteresting lines, but also a character with a simple political message and worldview. This is a film in which all the parts do their job relatively nicely, but the sum of everything is disappointing, and unfortunately the director is to blame for that.
The film refers to Bergman’s Persona, but is a shadow of this work of art
In Dolor i Gloria he bravely put his own pain in the foreground, but as with Woody Allen, it seems that his great inspiration has ended and that his films are just copies and abstractions of previous ideas. (Also, the 1-minute trailer contains the entire film.) One final note: The fact that this won the Golden Lion at Venice this year is not just an indication of how weak the 2024 edition of the festival was, but as usual, the sum of the composition of the jury this time, chaired by Huppert: first prize for a film about a woman who wants to be euthanized, second prize for a woman torn apart by war, love and her community, and third prize for a woman fighting for an abortion. Perhaps the idea is to have the jury presidents be filmmakers instead of actors and actresses so that the best film gets the top prize (The Brutalist).
