Whether you\u2019re watching a violent thriller or a death-bed tearjerker like \u201cSteel Magnolias\u201d or some of the more macabre meditations of Ingmar Bergman, you might say that the movies, in some grand collective way, are nothing less than a rehearsal for death. Yet it\u2019s still rare to encounter a big-screen drama that grabs death by the horns, that looks it in the eye, that asks us to confront its daunting reality on every level the way Pedro Almod\u00f3var\u2019s lyrical and moving \u201cThe Room Next Door\u201d does.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    The movie, in form, is quite simple. It\u2019s about two women, both in their early 60s, who\u2019ve been friends for a long time but haven\u2019t seen each other in years: Ingrid (Julianne Moore), an art-world author based in New York City, and Martha (Tilda Swinton), a former globe-trotting war correspondent for the New York Times who Ingrid reconnects with when she learns that Martha is in the hospital fighting a battle with cancer. Her illness is serious: It\u2019s stage-three cervical cancer, and she\u2019s undergoing a highly experimental immunotherapy treatment, which is the only chance she has. (In other words, not much of one.)<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Some people in this situation might not choose to vent their feelings, but Martha isn\u2019t like that. She knows she may die, and she\u2019s frank and open and philosophical about it. But that doesn\u2019t mean it\u2019s easy. She and Ingrid, we can see, were once close \u2014 and after a few catch-up encounters, they still are. The movie, while it has a sprinkling of other characters (like the man they both dated, a climate-change doomsayer played by John Turturro), is essentially a two-hander, a series of conversations between the two women that could almost be taking place on stage.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Adapting Sigrid Nunez\u2019s 2020 American novel, \u201cWhat Are You Going Through,\u201d into his first English-language feature, Almod\u00f3var has made a movie full of dialogue that has a ripe expository fervor. \u201cThe Room Next Door\u201d is no mock Almod\u00f3var soap opera, but it does have his love of voluble communication, of flamboyant feelings laid bare. The characters explain who they are, putting themselves right out there. Early on, Martha tells the story of how she wound up estranged from her daughter, Michelle, who she\u2019d raised as a young single mother, and this wrenching flashback (set in the Vietnam era) is like a mini-movie all its own.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    \u201cThe Room Next Door\u201d is vibrantly shot (by Eduard Grau), notably when the characters move to a fancy modernist rented vacation home in the upstate country near Woodstock, NY. Mostly, though, it\u2019s a movie in which Martha and Ingrid talk about death, and Martha finally figures out what she\u2019s going to do about it. She has not stopped wanting to live. But she has grown tired of fighting the fear that she\u2019s going to die.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Tilda Swinton has always had a face so distinctive \u2014 pale and severe, expressive in a way that\u2019s almost translucent, with that aura she conjures of looking like the aristocratic elfin alien sibling of David Bowie \u2014 that we feel as if we know that face like our own. In \u201cThe Room Next Door,\u201d Swinton\u2019s face, along with her words, becomes an awesome instrument of inquiry. She gives a monumental performance, one that in its raw emotion, its pensive power, is worthy of comparison to the spirit and virtuosity of Vanessa Redgrave. She makes Martha a grounded woman who knows herself, and knows what she wants, but has landed in uncharted territory. She\u2019s not prepared for this. Who is, really? But she\u2019s going to take the journey and take us with her.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    At a certain point, Martha decides that she\u2019s had enough, and that she\u2019s going to seize control of her destiny. She\u2019s going to decide when she dies. \u201cThe Room Next Door\u201d is not an \u201cissue\u201d movie (though it\u2019s very much on the side of euthanasia). It\u2019s a deceptively plainspoken but artful voyage into the river of emotion that accompanies the impulse to end one\u2019s life. Martha has a plan, and it\u2019s a relatively simple one, though it involves a pill she had to obtain, with some difficulty, on the dark web. And the challenge hardly ends there. As she and Ingrid move into the upstate home, a timetable emerges, and it infuses the film with a reality-based suspense. Will Ingrid wake up to find Martha\u2019s bedroom door closed? That\u2019s the code they\u2019ve agreed on for the day of Martha\u2019s reckoning. Moore\u2019s Ingrid, warm and empathetic, will do whatever it takes to support her friend, which makes her part of a spiritual-ethical equation. She\u2019s there to protect Martha, though she herself also needs to be protected (from the law).<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n    Pedro Almod\u00f3var, at 74, is no Spanish fatalist, but his films have become increasingly haunted by death. That\u2019s why the comedy in them has mostly been burned away. Yet I would argue that this has not made him a downbeat artist. \u201cThe Room Next Door,\u201d as driven by the scalding humanity of Swinton\u2019s performance, lifts you up and delivers a catharsis. The movie is all about death, yet in the unblinking honesty with which it confronts that subject, it\u2019s powerfully on the side of life.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
