A room in rome movie5/30/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() The story unfolds in a limited timeframe: We first see Alba (Elena Anaya) and Natasha (Natasha Yarovenko) as they enter Alba’s hotel, from a shot that peers over the balcony in Alba’s room, and the camera never leaves that room, even when the characters do. The film is a chronicle of a one-night stand between two women, though its use of nudity and sex is not quite as explicit, nor as expressive, as some of its closest recent relatives like 9 Songs and Shortbus. I’ve heard that sex sells, but if it that was all it took, Julio Medem’s Room in Rome might’ve been afforded a theatrical release, rather than playing a few festivals before making an inauspicious DVD review (even a few months after that US disc release, it has yet to accrue enough reviews for even a Rotten Tomatoes rating).
