The idyll they live Pedro Almodovar and the Venice Film Festival continues going from strength to strength. Remember that in 2019 the festival awarded the man from La Mancha a Honorary Golden Lionthat twelve months later he arrived in the city in the middle of the pandemic to present the short film ‘The human voice’ (2020), his first fiction film shot in English, and two years later he presented here his twenty-second feature film, ‘Parallel Mothers’ (2022), thanks to which Penelope Cruz she ended up winning the Coppa Volpi for Best Actress. And now, Almodóvar has once again chosen the Italian festival to premiere worldwide ‘The Room Next Door’, which is his first feature film shot entirely in English and with which, in addition to competing in this festival, he hopes to go as far as possible on the red-carpeted road to the Oscars.
