A movie-inside-a-movie: It's a fun riff on the parallels of film and real life. This is one of the few movies I've been anxious to listen to a director's commentary on, but alas, there wasn't one on my copy. Instead of the question "Are women magic?" we ponder "Are movies magic," and this one certainly is.

As far as French meta films about the film making process are concerned, Day For Night is certainly no Contempt, not least because the personal dramas experienced by the actors behind the scenes are just not as compelling. Unfortunately their affairs, doubts and grievances dominate the second half, and they don't really bleed into the 'on set' reality in an interesting way. The early scenes of Truffaut directing his cast, trying to control chaos, work best and are a pure delight

A film about people who love making them, and the way their lives are changed for better or worse while doing so. Feels like a documentary half the time, and it drew me in surprisingly quickly. Switches easily and often between being upbeat, casual, hectic, sad, funny, and melancholy. To any time travelers reading this in the future; if you're heading to 60's or 70's France, please let me hitch a ride.

I hate French movies. I hate their pretentious stories and their pretentious actors. I hate the pretentious fashion and the pretentious chanson soundtracks. I hate the pretentious titles and the pretentious English translations of those titles. I hate the pretentious people who love them and the pretentious person inside me who hates all this pretentiousness. But I liked this movie. GODAMMIT FRANCE. I hate you even more now. My Final Rating: 6.5 berets / 10 Royales with Cheese.

I feel there wasn't a lot to this, yet I certainly enjoyed it. I've not seen a film that looks at the production of a film so specifically before, it's like a fictionalised film of a behind the scenes feature. I think people interested in film production (like myself) will find this more interesting and entertaining than others (not to mention a little more depressing). A couple of the montages here are some of the best love-letters to film I've ever seen in a film.
