Living in Oblivion

Films about filmmaking rarely work unless one is deeply embedded within the industry, but 'Living in Oblivion' tackles the challenge with finesse.

A great reality-bending film about the nightmares and anxieties of film production. Sometimes it feels like Tom DiCillo is venting via this movie, but that seems to be part of the joke.

** pentru Liniște! Sărut. Acțiune! (Odeon). Buscemi/Bartoș double bill + Papadopol DOP "cadrele astea lungi, fară tăietură, sunt deja cam fumate" + să faci o piesă de teatru după un film despre cum se face un film, deja unii sunt cam prea *meta* :))

Might have more appreciation for this film if I knew anything about what goes into making a movie. I enjoyed being absorbed in its seemingly realistic aspects, and how vividly I felt the characters' emotions over the slightest successes and setbacks.

Well, definitely made me disapprove of filmmaking, haha... Now seriously, it really felt like a nightmare. I wouldn't say it`s a clever film (And we must update DiCillo that, no, he is NOT Fellini) - But it connected so much with my ambitions and my dreams (And my fears too) and it was very entertaining after all, so fuck it. 4/5

Blurring the lines between reality and fantasy this film adopts an interesting premise; one concerning the throes of film-making. Very imaginative and well-executed; one drawback perhaps, is the all too sentimental ending. Interestingly, Buscemi acts in another film about film-making 'In The Soup (1992) Which I much prefer.
