  • More about You Are Tearing Me Apart, Lisa!: The Year's Work on The Room, the Worst Movie Ever Made

The Room, a 2003 relationship drama by Tommy Wiseau, has become a popular cult film since The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Contributors to You Are Tearing Me Apart, Lisa! explore its meanings, historical context, and place in the cult canon, revealing its timeless power and its deconstruction of an original work of all-American failure.

Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 238 pages
Publication date: 08 November 2022
Publisher: Indiana University Press


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.
