Living in Oblivion

This movie was extremely funny.  It's about the frustrations of low budget filmmaking.  There are three different sequences in the movie.  Each sequence deals with different problems that could arise on the set.  The first sequence deals with mostly technical issues including problems with the boom, the lights, and the camera.  At one point in the sequence the tech takes a break and the actors run through their lines.  They give the best performance of the day and the camera guy isn't there to film it.  Steve Buscemi gives an excellent performance as the director of the film.  The frustration in his face as he watches a perfect scene slip through his fingers is hysterical.  The second sequence deals with personality conflict.  In it a "star" actor who thinks he's God's gift to the film industry destroys a scene by insisting on alterations that he thinks are improvements.  The last sequence is a mesh between the two with a dwarf who calls the director out for being stereotypical by casting a dwarf as a dwarf.  The dwarf's outburst comes after the smoke machine for the sequence explodes.  This movie is definitely an eye opener for future filmmakers on the process of movie making.
