Spanish filmmaker Pedro Almodóvar is returning to the Venice Film Festival with stars Tilda Swinton and Julianne Moore. Their film, “The Room Next Door,” had its world premiere on the Lido Monday evening. A new Almodóvar film is always an event for cinephiles. But this one has special significance. It’s his English-language debut. The film is playing in competition at the 81st edition of the Venice Film Festival. It’s competing alongside the likes of “Maria” and the yet-to-premiere “Queer” and “Joker: Folie à Deux.” Winners will be announced on Sept. 7. Sony Pictures Classics will release “The Room Next Door” in theaters in December.
