A cinematic anti-masterpiece

Nothing can prepare you for the (bad) magic of The Room

Nothing can prepare you for the (bad) magic of The Room. Dubbed "the Citizen Kaneof bad movies", this 2003 flick was written, produced and directed by starring auteur Tommy Wiseau.

The twisted love triangle boasts atrocious acting, a barely coherent plot and clunky dialogue laden with bizarre non-sequiturs; The Roomis an eminently quotable anti-masterpiece. Timemagazine has described it as "a Koch snowflake of badness, wherein any scene has an infinite number of things wrong with it". You can next experience The Roomat The Sugar Club on Leeson Street in Dublin on Halloween night, in the company of one of the film's stars, Greg Sestero – talk about a night to dismember. thesugarclub.com Derek O'Connor
