Citizen Kane (1941)/The Room (2003): Gotta love Metro Cinema’s sense of humour here programming these two films back to back, the first considered one of the finest examples of cinema ever made, the second, well, less so. Tommy Wiseau, the director/star of the latter has actually compared the two films — difficulties with production, box-office failures and so forth — but at heart they’re both about a certain sort of megalomania and loss. Maybe not the next Barbieheimer, but the two are fascinating back to back.
