Review of Day for Night (1973) by Madhuri A — 07 Nov 2010
Truffaut was an absolute master, just a genius. This film accomplishes every aspect that a great film should. It has a good story, good performances, great production values, a self reflexive look at the film industry and it makes a commentary on contemporary society, the way we live and love.
This film tackles the question all those who love film must ask themselves, whether the film is more important as a reflection of life or is it life that is more important? When Joelle states "I'd leave a guy for a film, but never leave a film for a guy" it encapsulates the essence of the film.
To these people, film is life. Truffaut embodies this trait and it is something to aspire to. Impressive work. And one final thing. How absolutely gorgeous was Jacqueline Bisset? Amazing!
