Starring Tilda Swinton and Julianne Moore, the film received an 18-minute standing ovation when it premiered at Venice earlier in the week
Spanish director Pedro Almodovar poses with the Golden Lion for Best Film he received for 'The Room Next Door' during the award ceremony of the 81st Venice Film Festival on September 7, 2024 at Venice Lido.Spanish director Pedro Almodovar’s first English-language movie “The Room Next Door”, which tackles the hefty themes of euthanasia and climate change, won the prestigious Golden Lion award at the Venice Film Festival on Saturday.
Speaking ahead of the premiere, he said his movie highlighted the importance of cherishing life, but also made clear that people should be able to die with dignity at a time of their choosing. Australia’s Nicole Kidman won the best actress award for her risque role in the erotic “Babygirl", where she plays a hard-nosed CEO, who jeopardises both her career and her family by having a toxic affair with a young, manipulative intern.
The festival marks the start of the awards season and regularly throws up big favourites for the Oscars, with eight of the past 12 best director awards at the Oscars going to films that debuted at Venice.
