Living in Oblivion
Steve Buscemi is Nick Reve, a luckless low-budget director struggling against all odds to get his artistic vision onto the screen. The big name leading man arrives on set with a big ego and some scene-improving ideas of his own, the leading lady has confidence issues, his inept crew include a cinematographer who fails to capture a rare moment of brilliance as he's busy throwing-up and a dwarf for the dream sequence is angry at typecasting 'I don't even have dreams with dwarves in them'. Insecurities, love rivalries, mounting tension and an exploding smoke-machine all add to the catalogue of trials for Nick as he desperately tries to hold onto his sanity.

Energetic and entertaining joke at the expense of wannabe film-makers, skewering pretentiousness while demonstrating that what happens behind the camera can be more interesting than what takes place in front of it; James LeGros provides a nice turn as an

Worth watching
Not an ambitious film, but very likable within its limits. It explores the incestuous interrelationships on a film set where things are always going wrong, is ... read more »

Clever
This is a good little film which I think cleverly conveys the frustrations of making a low budget movie.
It is held together by a good ensemble of ... read more » - 662832

Steve Buscemi: King of the Bit Part
- 28 Jul 2009
