Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Based on Jonas Karlsson's short story 'The Room,' a 2015 Swedish literary phenomenon that sparked office workers worldwide to hunt for their own impossible spaces.
The film deliberately mirrors 'Brazil' and 'The Tenant'—Orson's surname (not coincidentally) evokes Orson Welles, cinema's patron saint of institutional paranoia.
