The leading lady is recovering from a nervous breakdown, another performer is soused on the set, unions threaten to walk, shooting must finish before the insurance lapses and a cat can't hit its mark. Is this any way to make a film? Francois Truffaut's sly, humorous Oscar-winning Best Foreign Language Film (1973) that speaks the language of everyone who loves movies.

Critics Consensus: A sweet counterpoint to Godard's Contempt, Truffaut's Day for Night is a congenial tribute to the self-afflicted madness that is making a movie.

It has been a pleasure; one is sorry it is over; and I at any rate come out feeling positively good-tempered myself.

The Sun-Herald (Australia)

Romola Costantino

Witty, ironic, tragic, and wonderfully natural, this is a snatch of unmistakably true experience from a master who knows the film world in depth.

Day for Night is tender but too fan-magazinish in approach, too tenderly shallow for its own good.

Truffaut's Day For Night is a wonderfully funny evocation of the psychic netherworld in which film crews operate.

The film is a combination guided tour and gossip column, documentary and exposé, guaranteed to please both young people interested in making movies and older folk curious about the mysteries of the film studio.
