This ultimate tribute to all independent filmmakers takes place during one day on the set of a non-budget movie.
Leave your thoughts about Living in Oblivion.
| Philadelphia InquirerSteven ReaLiving in Oblivion celebrates the very act of filmmaking as grand folly, a triumph of absurdist heroism. |
| eFilmCritic.comRob GonsalvesProbably the best and funniest of the mid-'90s crop of movies about making movies. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanA hip indie version of Truffaut's Day for Night, Living in Oblivion celebrates the very act of filmmaking as grand folly, a triumph of absurdist heroism. |
| The New York TimesJanet MaslinWonderfully funny behind-the-scenes look at the perils of film making, no-budget style. |
| Washington PostDesson ThomsonEveryone in the cast is terrific, including Dermot Mulroney as Wolf, the beret-sporting cameraman who thinks he's a genius but can't seem to stop screwing up shots, and Wanda (Danielle Von Zerneck), a tough-talking assistant director who gets weak in the knees whenever Chad gets close. Best of all is Buscemi, a wonderfully offbeat, edgy performer who has appeared in such independent films as Mystery Train and Reservoir Dogs. He carries the emotional weight of the movie as his dream project faces impending doom, his red-rimmed, frog-like eyes threatening to burst with exasperation. |
| ReelViewsJames BerardinelliThis movie is keen, clever, and -- most important of all -- a nonstop exercise in hilarity. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleLiving in Oblivion is a rarity, a dark comedy that takes place almost entirely on a film set. Written and directed by Tom DiCillo, this is a very funny picture that presents the world of independent film making as a nightmare of conflicting egos, budgetary squalor and incompetence. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonDiCillo effectively uses dream sequences and black-and-white film to spoof the pretentiousness of indie films, but remains thoughtful and clever throughout. And every performance is spot-on. |
| EmanuelLevy.ComEmanuel LevyA valentine to the independent film world, DiCillo's version of Truffaut's Night for Day offers a smart, amusing look at the perils of low-budget filmmaking; the ensemble acting is superb. |
| Nick's Flick PicksNick DavisSluggish, dumbly overpraised farce about an indie movie I would never see, but I still might pick over this one. |
