"Celebrate 30 years of Living in Oblivion, Tom DiCillo’s sharp, surreal satire of indie filmmaking gone hilariously off the rails."
A razor-sharp and wildly entertaining satire of indie filmmaking, Living in Oblivion stars Steve Buscemi as Nick Reve, a director desperately trying to hold his low-budget movie together as everything around him falls apart. On set, egos clash and tensions soar: there's an insecure lead (Catherine Keener), a narcissistic heartthrob (James LeGros), a melodramatic cinematographer (Dermot Mulroney), and a breakout role for a young Peter Dinklage. Told in three dreamlike acts that shift between black-and-white and colour, the film blurs the line between cinema and chaos.
This cult classic is a hilarious, painfully accurate portrait of creative ambition gone sideways. Essential viewing for cinephiles, dreamers, and anyone who's ever yelled “quiet on set!”
