A ten-minute joke stretched to near exhaustion.

Slight but smart, and it doesn't overstay its welcome.

A 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.

Full Review | Original Score: 4/5 | Apr 11, 2007

A treat.

| Jun 24, 2006

A very funny picture that presents the world of independent film making as a nightmare of conflicting egos, budgetary squalor and incompetence.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Jun 18, 2002

"Oblivion" has a surrealistic, guilty-fun quality. It feels almost too good to be true.

DeCillo keeps the film moving with the kind of frantic energy you find on a real film set, alternating between judicious use of black-and-white and garish color, all the while keeping both frazzled director Nick and the audience just a little off balance.

| Original Score: 4.5/5 | Jan 1, 2000

So you wanna make a movie? Well, first, you should see "Living in Oblivion," Tom DiCillo's savagely funny satire of the world of independent filmmaking.
