IMDb plot summary: A committed film director struggles to complete his movie while coping with a myriad of crises, personal and professional, among the cast and crew.
Directed by François Truffaut. Stars Jacqueline Bisset, Jean-Pierre Léaud, and François Truffaut.
Day for Night is a Francois Truffaut film from the 1970s about a director making a film and the many dramas, small and large, that come along with it. One has to assume this is at least partly autobiographical, considering Truffaut also plays the director character in the film, and the plotlines and characters certainly have a ring of authenticity to them. I haven't seen a lot of Truffaut's work, but I have often not meshed with French new wave in general, so I was a little hesitant about this one. The individual moments in it were engaging enough, and I kind of found myself invested in whether this movie was going to come together. But ultimately it ended up being more a matter of the sum of its parts not adding up to more.
