Directed by Tom DiCillo | 90 mins | 1995
Steve Buscemi stars as Nick Reve, a first-time director struggling to steer a wildly dysfunctional production, in this beloved satire of indie filmmaking—which also features Catherine Keener, as Nick’s leading lady, and Peter Dinklage in his film debut. Writer-director Tom DiCillo, an erstwhile cinematographer for Jim Jarmusch and Bette Gordon, took home Sundance’s Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award for this wonderfully inventive behind-the-scenes comedy; for all its barbs, a true labor of love.
