Baby Cinema: The Room Next Door (12A) – The Exchange, Twickenham
April 24 @ 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm BST
£5.00 – £10.00Showing films for the grown-ups, the monthly midweek Baby Cinema is an opportunity for new parents and carers to get up and out in relative ease! There will be coffee and cake from 11am in the café area, and the film will start at 12pm (noon).
This is a relaxed screening, so don’t worry if baby wakes up (there will be subtitles)! Please note, to avoid chaos the age cap for babes in arms is 15 months. No baby, no entry.
Ingrid (Julianne Moore), a best-selling writer, rekindles her relationship with her friend Martha (Tilda Swinton), a war journalist with whom she has lost touch for a number of years. The two women immerse themselves in their pasts, sharing memories, anecdotes, art, movies—yet Martha has a request that will test their newly strengthened bond.
Pedro Almodóvar’s finely sculpted drama, his first English-language feature, is the unmistakable work of a master filmmaker, a hushed and humane portrayal of the beauty of life and the inevitability of death, graced with incandescent performances by Moore and Swinton that tap the very essence of being.
Adapting Sigrid Nunez’s treasure of a novel, What Are You Going Through, Almodóvar has exquisitely reframed his career-long fascination with the lives of women for an American vernacular, capturing Manhattan and upstate New York with enraptured affection.
