Everyone will go "Woah, this must be a fuckin' dream, there's a fuckin' dwarf in it!". Well, I'm sick of it! You can take this dream sequence and shove it up your ass!

Tom [=DiCillo=]'s 1995 film, starring Creator/SteveBuscemi, Creator/CatherineKeener, Dermot Mulroney and Creator/PeterDinklage is a quintessential movie about movies. It tells the story of Nick, the director of a low-budget indie film, trying to keep everything together as his production is plagued with an insecure actress, a megalomaniac star, a pretentious, [[ArtsyBeret beret-wearing]] director of photography, and lousy catering. Divided in three acts, each representing a different scene to shoot, this film is essential for amateur filmmakers.
