Bust out those plastic spoons! The Room is back at The Frida Cinema in March, and the star of The Room and best-selling author of The Disaster Artist, Greg Sestero, is joining us for the fun to introduce the film in-person!
Wiseau’s peerless magnum opus finds the auteur who shaped a generation taking on the arts of acting, writing, casting, directing, editing and more. What’s even more remarkable: he’s mastered them all. The multi-talented director stars as Johnny, a big-time banker working in gorgeously shot San Francisco. His fiancée Lisa, seemingly a happy part of a successful relationship, has wandering eyes…for Tommy’s best friend Mark. Cinema has never witnessed such betrayal!
An intense, sensual thriller, at least as it was intended by Wiseau, The Room is an intricately knit web of sweet secrets and bitter lies that interrogates the very form of drama itself, as well as a truly unforgettable piece of cinema.
Doors open at 6:45PM. Greg will be signing and selling merchadise in the lobby. Movie and introduction start at 7:45PM. Frida Cinema Member discounts do not apply to this special event.
