If you loved Living in Oblivion, try Johnny Suede

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Johnny Suede has roughly 4.4× fewer votes than Living in Oblivion — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Tom DiCillo, and they sit in Comedy territory. If that's the register that drew you to Living in Oblivion, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Johnny Suede is

A pair of suede shoes and a dream cost less than therapy. Johnny Suede drifts toward rock stardom on borrowed time and even more borrowed cash. His pompadour outshines his playlist, which the universe kindly ignores.
