The Room / USA / 2003

I’m in wholehearted agreement with Tom on this one, and I’ll add that this is undoubtedly one of the most incompetently made films I’ve ever seen, and brilliantly so. Manos: The Hands of Fate, in contrast, at least has distinctive locations, props, and costumes; this has none of that. Most of The Room is set in what I construe to be the titular room: a homey but otherwise indistinctive living room, save for a framed photograph of a spoon. The film is about impromptu sexual encounters, impromptu visits from neighbors, dishonesty, impromptu visits from future mothers-in-law, and impromptu games of football. This is all told without any stock in narrative relevancy whatsoever.
