The Room has enjoyed a resurgence thanks to The Disaster Artist, in which James Franco portrayed the tragic story of the film which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year.
There is one movie so bad it’s great: The Room (2003), the absurd film that Tommy Wiseau self-financed, wrote and directed 20 years ago, is so cheesy and (unnecessarily) funny that when it was promoted, its creator he even stopped selling it as a drama and calling it a comedy.
The Room is a disaster that reaches the sublime, ideal to watch with friends and in its original version – because it is the only film whose editing almost manages to “improve” it. Along with Troll 2, they are also considered the two “best worst movies” in history.
As with The Rocky Horror Picture Show, the atmosphere at their anniversary screenings is incredible. At the cinema, a kind of ceremony with a group of fans dressed in plastic spoons who sing and scream at every key moment.
THE REASONS FOR YOUR SUCCESS
What sets The Room apart from other “bad” movies is that you don’t get bored for even a second. We are fascinated by her absurdity, her self-absorbed personality and the man who created her. Tommy Wiseau’s film is truly an endless collection of strange and unlikely moments that seem to have been filmed in the 90s, and feature the main character of him who captivates him so much that he drives him crazy.
Johnny is a man betrayed by his friends and his girlfriend: a martyr in a modern drama with an emaciated appearance and a bewildered gaze that reveals a being that doesn’t seem exactly human to us.
