Nick is the director of a low-budget indie film. He tries to keep everything together as his production is plagued with an insecure actress, a megalomaniac star, a pretentious, beret-wearing director of photography and lousy catering. Divided in three acts, each representing a different scene to shoot, this film is an essential for amateur filmmakers.

Top Critics Reviews

fresh:
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.
– Hal Hinson,
Washington Post,

fresh:
"Oblivion" has a surrealistic, guilty-fun quality. It feels almost too good to be true.
– Desson Thomson,
Washington Post,
1 Jan 2000
fresh:
A very funny picture that presents the world of independent film making as a nightmare of conflicting egos, budgetary squalor and incompetence.
– Mick LaSalle,
San Francisco Chronicle,

A treat.
– Geoff Andrew,

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.
