The Room Next Door | Almodóvar

Venice International Film Festival, awarded with the Golden Lion

 

Drama film written and directed by Pedro Almodóvar in his English-language full-length debut. 
For the project, he enlists Oscar winners Julianne Moore and Tilda Swinton, who star here in a wonderfully colorful, moving, and smart drama that premiered at the 2024 Venice Film Festival and won much acclaim, with many praising the exciting acting, the surprising plot, and, as always with Almodóvar, the brilliant, courageous, and unique cinematics.

Ingrid (Julianne Moore) and Martha (Tilda Swinton) were close friends in their youth, when they worked together at the same magazine. Ingrid went on to become an autofiction novelist while Martha became a war reporter, and they were separated by the circumstances of life. After years of being out of touch, they meet again in an extreme but strangely sweet situation.

London National Theatre Live on Screen | The Motive and the Cue

Sam Mendes (The Lehman Trilogy) directs Mark Gatiss as John Gielgud and Johnny Flynn as Richard Burton in this fierce and funny new play. 
1964: Richard Burton, newly married to Elizabeth Taylor, is to play the title role in an experimental new Broadway production of Hamlet under John Gielgud’s exacting direction. But as rehearsals progress, two ages of theatre collide and the collaboration between actor and director soon threatens to unravel.


Written by Jack Thorne (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child) and designed by Es Devlin (The Crucible), the Evening Standard award-winning best new play was filmed live during a sold-out run at the National Theatre. 


‘A love letter to theatre’ Evening Standard ‘Will give you goosebumps’ Independent ‘Immaculately directed by Sam Mendes’ Times ‘A witty, deft, touching evocation of a fascinating, fraught encounter’ Telegraph ‘A brilliant, compassionate new play’ Financial Times


Dir: Sam Mendes

Walking on Water | Andrey Paounov

The Floating Piers project was conceived by artist Christo almost 50 years ago, in 1970, together with his wife Jeanne-Claude. Together, they tried to turn it into reality several times in places like Argentina and Japan but were unable to obtain the necessary permits. Yet Christo never stopped dreaming and created sketches and drawings that show the amazing effect of the floating piers with which the film opens.

 

After a series of particularly impressive works of art that he created together with his wife Jeanne-Claude, Christo dreams of walking on water. To this end, he wants to build paths leading from the shores of Italy’s Lake Iseo to the small island in its center.

The man who wrapped the Reichstag in fabric, spread a curtain over a valley in the Rocky Mountains, and covered a vast area in Japan with umbrellas, did not think it was a big deal to spread more than 200,000 polyethylene cubes wrapped in fabric across a lake. But then Italian bureaucracy came into play.

Building the “floating piers” proved to be a complex task both technically and personally, and although the spectacular creation attracted tens of thousands of visitors, there was never a moment behind the scenes when the drama level was less than a wave.
