Editorial Review:
Description:
The leading lady is recovering from a nervous breakdown, another performer is soused on the set, unions threaten to walk, shooting must finish before the insurance lapses and a cat can't hit its mark. Is this any way to make a film? FRANCOIS TRUFFAUT's sly, humorous OscarO-winning Best Foreign Language Film (1973) that speaks the language of everyone who loves movies. JACQUELINE BISSET, JEAN-PIERRE AUMONT, VALENTINA CORTESE, NATHALIE BAYE and Truffaut star.
Amazon.com essential video:
François Truffaut's lavish and fun 1973 comedy-drama about a film production is a clever hall of mirrors, with Truffaut himself playing a director, and his most important actor in real life, Jean-Pierre Léaud (The 400 Blows), portraying Jacqueline Bisset's immature costar. Day for Night is full of tales undoubtedly told out of school and repeated here in camouflage, and one can't help but be impressed with the stylistic and technical means by which Truffaut captures the adventurousness of a full-budget shoot. The cast is very good all around, with actors in some cases playing fictional thespians and in other cases playing members of the crew. A sequence set to thrilling music by Georges Delerue celebrates the whole art of filmmaking as seen from an editor's perspective--it makes one want to drop everything and shoot a film of one's own. --Tom Keogh

Rating: - Delicate and volatile relationships on the set -- Truffaut celebrates the triumph and struggle behind cinema
Day for Night has not aged quite as well as some of Truffaut's other films, since it feels like an homage to a bygone era, but that is partly because it has influenced so many subsequent portrayals of what goes on behind the scenes during the making of a film, and it is partly because the filmmakers wanted to make an homage to an older style of filmmaking. Tom di Cillo's "Living in Oblivion" for example is the American indie version of Day for Night -- more cynical, even more funny, but not nearly ... Read More

Rating: - Truffaut's Love Letter to Cinema.
"Francois Truffaut's funny and touching film, 'Day for Night,' is not only the best movie ever made about the movies, but is also a great entertainment"--Roger Ebert.
While French Director, François Truffaut (1932-1984) is best known for his "Antoine Doinel Cycle" (Adventures of Antoine Doinel (The 400 Blows / Antoine & Collette / Stolen Kisses / Bed & Board / Love on the Run), and for his films Jules and Jim and The Story of Adele H., his lesser gems from the '70s like Small Change ...

Rating: - WARNING
Despite the image in the listing clearly depicting the newer Warner Home Video re-issue in a Keep Case packaging, I purchased this last week and was sent what was obviously leftover stock of the old Snap Case version!
I am waiting for a replacement to arrive in the mail but I wouldn't be surprised if they sent em the exact same thing and I have the same problem again as the customer service rep that I spoke with on the phone did not seem to understand a word I said and was not particularly fluent ... Read More
Rating: - Estupenda película
Wonderful film, that any lover of the cinema cannot be lost, mainly
because is cinema within the cinema and the magic of the
cinematographic accomplishment. The DVD has good extras, documentary
and interviews, although some do not have without subtitles and that
can be annoying for some people hispanoparlanntes.
My only complaint is that the broken box arrived and evidentmente was
not broken by bad maipulación during its transport, since noticed
that already it ... Read More
