What meaning does the title of The Room hold? Is it truly the worst film of all times, or is that just the wishful thinking of its ardent fans? Is Johnny, the film’s central hero, the best person in the world, the biggest idiot that ever lived or the most tragic character in the history of the narrative arts? Does the film copy the structure of soap operas or rather of cheap porn? How many sex scenes can be fitted into one melodrama and does the Kama Sutra really include all possible lovemaking positions? How old – both mentally and physically – is Tommy Wiseau and what age are all the characters in the film supposed to be? Did Wiseau practice his acting method watching Al Pacino, Marlon Brando or Sylvester Stallone played back at half speed? Who really was the main inspiration for Heath Ledger in his process of creating Joker as the personification of chaos? Where is the line between a misunderstood genius and senseless insanity? And what is all the fuss about The Room anyway? You can answer all these and many more questions yourself by attending the first official Czech screening of the cult phenomenon.
