Released in 2003, The Room transcended failure to become one of the most beloved cult films of all time — and at its center stands the eternal enigma himself, Tommy Wiseau.
Wiseau’s performance as Johnny is unforgettable: emotionally earnest, wildly miscalibrated, and delivered with absolute conviction. What began as a serious attempt at dramatic filmmaking evolved into something far stranger and more powerful — a communal ritual of quoting, laughing, throwing spoons, and returning again and again. Few films have generated such enduring audience devotion.
