The Room

The Room has been called the “Citizen Kane” of bad movies. That might be an understatement.

On the surface, this is the story of Johnny, a successful San Francisco banker whose idyllic life is shattered by the treachery of his fiancée, Lisa, and his best friend, Mark. But to describe the plot is to miss the point entirely.

This is a film that operates in a universe of its own. In a world of bafflingly earnest dialogue, nonsensical character motivations, and a passion so pure The Room transcends traditional concepts of film. It is a cinematic experience where every line is a quote, every scene a mystery, and every screening a communal event. Forget what you know about filmmaking; come bear witness to a true original, a story of love and betrayal so singular it has become the stuff of legend.
