“‘Oblivion’ successfully blends elements from both the poetic and diary modes. In the process, Tom Chomont has created one of the few truly erotic works of cinema.” – J.J. Murphy, “Reaching Toward Oblivion,” Millennium Film Journal No. 3 “Lost in the heat of a masturbatory revel, light pours off the skin of the filmmaker, finally coalescing in an associative montage that relates the body of his hustler/lover with the world outside. ‘Oblivion’ is very much a ‘home movie,’ enclosed between the four walls of a New York tenement, it describes a lover ‘s encounter.” – Mike Hoolboom
