After years of no contact, they meet again in an extreme but strangely sweet situation
Scenario
Ingrid and Martha were close friends in their youth, when they worked together at the same magazine. When Pedro Almodóvar sent Tilda Swinton the script, he asked her who should play Ingrid.
Both mentioned Julianne Moore
She starred in The 7PM Project: Episode 8, September 2024 (2024). It’s hard to imagine a more stylish, elegant, and sophisticated film about death before Pedro Almodovar’s latest effort.
The set, color choices, and costumes make it an almost too extravagant aesthetic pleasure to watch
.My problem is that the film never finds the depth it should when dealing with such a serious and profound subject. Should a person have the freedom and autonomy to decide for themselves whether it’s time to end their life or not?
But the long dialogue felt wooden and too formulaic for my taste
Tilda Swinton and Julianne Moore do their best to focus on this issue, which depicts a close friendship facing its final and most complex challenge. I was surprised by the film’s visual richness, but it never touched me emotionally, which I would expect from a director as great as Almodovar.
