Day for Night

film about film

06 December 2008

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.
