Audio By Carbonatix
From the standards of what most people consider to be “good” filmmaking, The Room is a complete disaster: bad acting, clumsy dialogue, technical issues out the wazoo. But in this case, you can forget those standards, because this is a film that is infinitely entertaining. You’ve heard of films so bad they’re good? This is a film so bad it’s brilliant.
The debut feature and star vehicle of auteur Tommy Wiseau, The Room is more experience than movie. It’s been slowly growing its cult in midnight showings around the country since its 2003 release, and at long last is getting its Denver premiere. So grab some plastic spoons and a football and get ready to be experienced. Just don’t be surprised if you have to see it again and again — that’s all part of the plan. “I wanted people to see The Room many times, as many as they can,” explains Wiseau. “The reason is they have many symbolism. Symbolism to human behavior, relate to you, to fans, to society as a whole. In The Room there are so many symbolisms, there is no way you can get the symbolism in one take.”
See it at midnight tonight and tomorrow at the Esquire Theatre, 590 Downing Street; tickets are $7.25. For more info or to purchase tickets, visit www.landmarktheatres.com or call 303-352-1992.
