First, Frankly, I don't like this movie. I mean, personally, I don't like it. I had a fun time watching it and it's one of the most clever movies I've seen but :)) the gut feeling is that I don't like it (of course, I don't hate it either).
Now, the first impression is that the narration (correct word?) is very much like Run Lola Run: you see it and it turns out to be not "it" and so on. It's a rather interesting technique (although I have to admit that I somewhat feel annoyed). The black and white scenes remind me of Ed Wood (also because Ed Wood's theme is about similar: filming). I don't particularly like black and white movie (because I feel that there's something missing: color) but I do appreciate the way it's used in Living in Oblivion. The scenes are switched smoothly and cleverly.
One more thing that's great about this one is lighting. I don't usually notice the impact of lighting in movies, but I do in this one. It creates quite an atmosphere and emphasize the actor's facial expression.
And last but not least is the acting. I think each of the actors did his part very well. Frankly, I still can't image how they can do a right acting of a wrong acting. Sounds complicated (to me).
In conclusion, this is a definite recommendation to someone who hasn't seen it yet, but as for myself, I don't think I'll watch it again. I find the film innovative, great (in almost every aspect: acting, lighting, script, music) and interesting but, nah, gut feeling is something that you can't deny.
