The Room

Dir. Tommy Wiseau US 2003
The Room is a cinematic experience unlike anything else. The story is set in a San Francisco beautifully rendered on green screen, where we meet a banker named Johnny (Tommy Wiseau). He has a great job, friends and even a girlfriend, but not all is as tranquil as it seems. Drugs, deception, soft-core sex and a cheating heart start to slowly unravel Johnny's life. He is trapped by his own kind nature amongst these betrayals and must find a way out! The Room is crafted in such a way that you can't believe that it has been accomplished on the reported $6 million budget. The Room has enjoyed successful midnight screenings in Los Angeles for years and now we drag it into the light of day for the SF audience. Perhaps by the end you will have an answer to the one, plaguing question: Is this the Citizen Kane of bad movies? (99m)
