A comic celebration of dreamers and their dreams, LIVING IN OBLIVION is the second film written and directed by Tom DiCillo. With a tone that teeters somewhere between Kafka and the Marx Brothers, it chronicles the hilarious misadventures of a group of people who have joined together to accomplish one of the most difficult goals imaginable - the making of a low-budget independent film. With an innovative and surprising structure that shifts fluidly between the movie being made and those making it, the film offers a rare and accurate -- if comically heightened -- look behind-the-scenes, with the people who make the scenes. How they make them -- and the fact that they manage to make them at all -- is what LIVING IN OBLIVION is all about.
Starring Steve Buscemi as director Nick Reve, LIVING IN OBLIVION highlights a day on the set of Nick's film where everything that could possibly go wrong, actually does. Struggling against ever-escalating odds to maintain his integrity and his sanity, Nick is both helped and hindered by his bumbling, if well-intentioned crew, headed by his cinematographer Wolf (Dermot Mulroney), a cameraman whose leather gear suggests that he is more inspired by Billy Idol than Sven Nykvist a leading lady, Nicole (Catherine Keener), a talented but neurotic actress who is involved in a romance and a rivalry with her leading man, Chad Palomino (James Le Gros) an iron-willed assistant director, Wanda (Danielle Von Zerneck) and, for the first time ever on-screen, a Gaffer.
Insanely cringing to watch. Sometimes it’s rather faithful in showing what real film productions look like than a thoughtful comedy. Still, the chaos, egos and folly of every filmmaker was vividly manifested in this seemingly three act structured story. It’s very ambitious and it did pull off nicely.
Catherine Keener梦醒后非得把梦投射到现实中来,妹子们都这样,一厢情愿觉得人家跟自己做的是同一个梦
主体是三场戏,为了拍三个戏中戏镜头。每次戏中戏情节都和“伪现实”有一定互文关系,提高了观感。梦境的衔接仿似布努埃尔的《资产阶级的审慎魅力》。75
学电影的看完瑟瑟发抖,居然还有年轻的小恶魔彩蛋。
属于是片场实录了。像是因为导电影太难受了干脆把难受拍成一部电影的玩闹,戏谑了“拍电影”本身。最后太重复了难免有些笨拙(但又是本身的态度
