Almodóvar's 'The Room Next Door' Wins Golden Lion

Pedro Almodóvar's first English-language film, 'The Room Next Door,' dealing with euthanasia and climate change, won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival, receiving an 18-minute standing ovation. The film stars Tilda Swinton and Julianne Moore and marks a significant shift for Almodóvar, who has predominantly worked in Spanish. Nicole Kidman won the best actress award for her role in 'Babygirl', though she missed the ceremony due to her mother's unexpected death. Vincent Lindon was awarded best actor for his role in 'The Quiet Son', a drama about family radicalism. The Silver Lion went to Maura Delpero's 'Vermiglio', and Brady Corbet won best director.
