‘Living in Oblivion’

Share

Writer-director Tom DiCillo has turned his own experiences into a clever and consistently funny 1995 inside-movies comedy. ‘Oblivion’ has a quirky three-part structure in which film, reality and fantasy double back on one another. Each section involves a single scene that put-upon director Nick Reve (Steve Buscemi, pictured with Catherine Keener), the kind of intense young cineaste who has a poster for Fritz Lang’s ‘M’ on his bedroom wall, is trying desperately to commit to film (TMC Tuesday at 3:50 p.m. and Friday at 1:45 p.m.).
