'The room next door' | Anatomy of a scene

Pedro Almodóvar narrates a sequence from his film starring Julianne Moore and Tilda Swinton.

I am Pedro Almodóvar. I am the director of “The Room Next Door.” We are in the middle of history. The two main characters, played by Julianne Moore and Tilda Swinton. They are very close friends and Martha, Tilda, decided to go to a place near Woodstock just to spend the last weeks of her life “It is much more beautiful than in the photographs.” And it's a wonderful photo of Edward Hopper. And it's also important to the story because they went out into the garden and found the trees. The birds. “Do you hear them?” “Isn't it wonderful?” And also the garden chair. “And we can lie out in the sun like on the Hopper and enjoy the evening breeze.” This is very important to me. This is exactly the place where Martha, Tilda, is going to die. So it's like that chair. He's waiting for her. And because it will be the definitive place where he will rest. “Do you mind if I take this?” “Of course not. It's your house.” “This one is a little small. I'll look down.” “Okay.” “I'll take this one.” “OK?” “Okay.” “No.” Do you mind if I'm not in the next room?” “I can hear you breathing and screaming.” “OKAY!” “Here we go.” “Let's unpack.”
