Has Julianne Moore already given a foretaste with her golden dress? After all, the film “The Room Next Door” is in the running for the Golden Lion in Venice. The drama was already well received by the premiere audience.

Julianne Moore (63) and Tilda Swinton (63) made a brilliant and acclaimed appearance at the Venice International Film Festival on Monday evening (September 2). The premiere of Pedro Almodóvar's (74) film “The Room Next Door” received a long round of applause from the audience – the standing ovation lasted 17 minutes, as the industry portal “Variety” reported. No other entry in the famous film spectacle has ever received so much applause.

Director celebrates with his muses

After the film ended, the Spanish film director kissed his stars Swinton and Moore on the cheeks and raised their arms like boxing champions. He then descended the stairs in the Sala Grande theater with his new muses and, after 14 minutes, extended the applause while shaking hands with fans in the theater.

The leading actresses' look was also glorious: Swinton wore a light Chanel suit with a long jacket, Moore a shimmering gold sequin dress. They hadn't let the light drizzle spoil their good mood on the red carpet.

According to Variety, the applause for “The Room Next Door” exceeded that for Brady Corbet's “The Brutalist” (12 minutes), Pablo Larrain's “Maria” (eight minutes) with Angelina Jolie as famous opera singer Maria Callas and Justin Kurzel's “The Order” (seven minutes), a crime thriller from the 1980s with Jude Law in charge.

Drama about two friends

“The Room Next Door” is Almodóvar's first feature film in English. Moore plays a bestselling author named Ingrid who reconnects with her former friend Martha (Swinton). The war correspondent is seriously ill and has to undergo various treatments. Her fate causes Ingrid to increasingly grapple with her own stability. The drama will be released in Germany on October 24th.
