Review by mia lee vicino ★★★★ 8
“I’d dump a guy for a film but never a film for a guy!”
charming, genuine, and brave enough to tell the three essential truths about filmmaking:
- movies are more important than life
- everyone in the cast and crew is boning each other
- cats cannot act -
Review by demi adejuyigbe ★★★★½ 6
I love movies about movies and I love being on a set so much. I miss the energy, and the busyness, and the hustling unpreparedness! I loved how unfocused this movie was– no singular plot, no central character to follow, just a series of dramas surrounding a single production. It feels like a Christopher Guest movie with the dial turned way down. Love it!

100/100
Sorry, Jean-Luc Godard. You've been topped for best movie about movies.
Francois Truffaut's Day for Night is a fantastically dazzling masterpiece of cinema. A glorious celebration and condemnation of the joys and faults of filmmaking. It's also a genius satire, taking all of the troubles and woes of filmmaking and making a somewhat sarcastic remark about them. Truffaut has made a big mark on satirical cinema with this piece, and honestly it's probably far too complex for me to properly dissect at this moment.
Being a film within a film, Day for Night doesn't try to take itself too seriously. It reminds the audience that, while cinema is a glorious form of art in itself, it's still simply fictionalized…

"No one's private life runs smoothly. That only happens in the movies.”
making a movie looks like the most stressful thing in the world but somehow the most amazing thing in the world at the same and i think that’s pretty neat

Review by tru ★★★★★ 5
I was kinda losing my interest and passion for cinema over the past couple weeks, but watching Day for Nightfor the first time yesterday really restored my love, and possibly invigorated it more than ever.
Watching it for the third time this weekend reaffirmed that thisis what I want to do with my life (even though films like Meet Pamelaaren't made anymore). This is what it's all leading up to, this is my passion, this is my love, this is cinema.
Thus, Day for Night is the film with the biggest impact on my life, which is actually kinda funny, since I only sawit yesterday.

Review by siobhan ★★★★½
françois truffaut playing the director of the movie within the movie that he directed!!!! jean-pierre léaud serving looks and being a comedic king!!!! truffaut receiving the package of books about film he ordered and tearing it open with glee!!! his dream about stealing citizen kane promo stills from the cinema as a kid!!! the drama and scandal of working on a film set!!!
movie magic! so much to love!

Review by Ethan ❄️ 1
So after this film was released, Jean-Luc Goddard (everyone's favorite French new wave asshat) wrote a letter to Truffaut accusing him of selling out and saying that since the film had appeal to the masses it had no inherit value. And if that doesn't sound the pretentious guy in your film class who hasn't watched an English language feature in 4 years but has no actual talent then I don't know what is.

Review by eely 🌻 ★★★★★ 1
if you’re looking for a cinematic representation of me post-vaccine, look no further than the scene in this film in which jean-pierre léaud, after locking himself in his hotel room all day to stew in the melancholy of amour non réciproque, emerges in a white nightgown, looking like a pale victorian child, slowly walks up to the rest of the film crew, one hand extended in supplication, and asks if somebody will please lend him some money so he can go to the whorehouse.
