Pedro Almodóvar's movie, The Room Next Door, has received a record-breaking 18-minute standing ovation at the Venice Film Festival.Almodóvar premiered his latest feature film and his first English-language movie, The Room Next Door, at the Venice Film Festival, Deadline reports.
As soon as the lights came up and the audience stood, Almodóvar kissed the hands of both leads, Julianne Moore and Tilda Swinton.The unusually long standing ovation was likely due to the fact that the cast and Almodóvar had come down from the gallery and stood there for a while, clapping along with the crowd.
In the movie, Moore plays Ingrid, a best-selling author who rekindles a relationship with her friend Marta, a war journalist played by Swinton. The two women delve into their pasts, but Martha has a favor to ask that will test their newly strengthened bond.
