I'm a fan of this film since i first saw it in 1996. I've seen it about 20 times. It's not only by far DiCillos's best film but also Buscemi's best performance ever. So why isn't there a DVD available? His weaker films "Box of Moonlight" and "Real Blonde" have been released...so why not "Living in Oblivion"?
shareIt was released yesterday (Feb 11), according to Amazon.com. But I haven't been able to find a copy in any store. Anyone who has it pls. post.
shareIt's now available in Canada. Found my copy at Futureshop for $20.

A friend of mine bought it at Tower Records, if you have one nearby. But it came at an extensive cost: $30.

Maybe Brad Pitt doesn't like the way he is portrayed, and is pulling strings.
shareYeah... I don't know what it's doïng in th'official triviä that Palamino has nothing to do with Brad Pitt. Considering Johnny Suede, the presence of Catherine Keener, and the resemblance to Pitt in mannerisms and face, how can it be official that it's NOT him? He doesn't come off so badly anyway, just not suited to that type of film-making. It's not as if he wasn't awesome in Twelve Monkeys or Fight Club, just that he cheesed off one independant film-maker, who got some little bit of revenge.
shareThe part of Chad is not a mockery of Brad Pitt at all. Brad Pitt was actually on board to play Chad (by Keener's suggestion) until shortly before that section of the movie was filmed.
I rented this through netflix. They do have some copies in stock usually (not too popular among the mainstream movie watchers).
I can't find any other place that has it in stock or for sale.
I just rented the movie on dvd today at blockbuster
I can never get enough Buscemi.
The DVD image is so funny, it's perfect.

I haven't seen this movie in a video store in years. It's a shame, because I remember it being extremely funny.

I saw the DVD at the library where I volunteer at.

My dad and I justed finished watching it on DVD, and he bought it recently
shareWatched about a minute in (after the credits, I mean) and the DVD is so freaking wonky I had to come on here to complain. What the hell did CTHE do here? It looks like somebody ripped and compressed the DVD from a DVD-9 to a DVD-5. The image is so warped that I feel like I am on acid trying to watch it. People's faces float around independantly of their own heads.
OK, the image improves. Or at least, I stopped noticing it because the movie was so awesome.

FYI I had never heard about this before I found it at Big Lots for $3 on DVD. Quality is way up and so glad I found this beaut! Big Lots is the bomb.
