Living in Oblivion is like stepping into an anxiety dream—complete with camera malfunctions, diva tantrums, and that creeping sense nothing will ever go right. It’s a low-budget film about making a low-budget film, and it captures the chaos brilliantly. Anyone who’s ever had to wrangle egos (in any industry) will feel right at home. DiCillo balances farce and tragedy with a kind of scrappy charm, and Steve Buscemi is bang on as the frazzled director barely holding it together. It’s messy, neurotic, and surprisingly relatable—like the cinematic equivalent of a nervous breakdown you can laugh at.
