When released in 2003, The Room, an obscure, self-financed
relationship drama by an eccentric self-taught filmmaker named
Tommy Wiseau, should have been completely forgotten. Yet nearly two
decades later, "the worst movie ever made"—as many a critic would
have it—has become the most popular cult film since The Rocky
Horror Picture Show. In You Are Tearing Me Apart, Lisa!,
contributors explore this priceless cultural artifact, offering
fans and film buffs critical insight into the movie's various
meanings, historical context, and place in the cult canon. Even if
by complete accident, The Room touches on many issues of modern
concern, including sincerity, authenticity, badness, artistic
value, gender relations, Americanness, Hollywood conventions,
masculinity, and even the meaning of life. Revealing the timeless,
infamous power of Wiseau's The Room, You Are Tearing Me Apart,
Lisa! is a deeply entertaining deconstruction of an original work
of all-American failure.
