My 150 Favorite Films - #8

Living in Oblivion (1995)

This slyly clever film pokes satirical fun at the world of independent filmmaking with all it's recalcitrant problems and inherent woes told from an insider's perspective by indie director, Tom DiCillo.  One of the first starring roles for each of the following: Steve Buscemi, as the Director, Catherine Keener, as the leading lady, James LeGros as the leading man (doing a subversive parody of Brad Pitt, despite what the director may say), Peter Dinklage, and Dermot Mulroney. Enjoyable on many levels.
