Synopsis

The drama on screen is nothing compared to the drama behind the camera...

During production of the film "Je Vous Presente Pamela" (May I Introduce Pamela), the actresses are drunk and emotionally unstable. The male lead's affair with the script girl is getting rocky. And the shoot is beset by endless technical problems in director François Trauffaut's loving and humorous homage to the cinema.

    Directed by Francois Truffaut, Day For Night is a film about film-making itself. Combining drama and comedy, Day For Night features a whole host of characters linked by their involvement in the romantic film “Je vous presente Pamela”, and explores the process of creating a film, complete with high levels of tension and emotion. Day For Night is full of engaging characters, all of whom manage to draw you in with their individual stories, and the film as a whole successfully knits the many strands together to create a film which is both clever and funny. Day For Night is as entertaining now as it was over thirty years ago, and still seems fresh and original. It's hard to deny the film's appeal and Truffaut's enthusiasm for cinema certainly rubs off on to the viewer. Without a doubt, Day For Night deserves the massive praise it has earned, and is well worth a watch.
