| Summary: | "When released in 2003, The Room, an obscure, self-financed relationship drama by Tommy Wiseau, should have been forgotten. And yet it has since become a cult classic, despite being crowned "the worst movie ever made" by many a critic. 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 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"-- |
