Pedro Almodovar Wins Golden Lion for The Room Next Door at Venice Film Festival
Briefly

"Today I arrived in Venice to learn shortly thereafter that my beautiful, brave mother, Janelle Ann Kidman, has just passed. I'm in shock and I have to go to my family... The collision of art and life is heartbreaking, and my heart is broken."
"The spirit [of the film] is Spanish. It’ll be my first Golden Lion for a specific movie; he won best screenplay for Women on a Verge of a Nervous Breakdown in 1988."
