françois truffaut’s DAY FOR NIGHT (la nuite americaine), 1973

 

 

 

i saw this ages ago but remembered little

this was i realize now on rewatch his 81/2, and a love letter to filmmaking—which is so crazy and so much work but appears here as a glorious thing with the help of what sounds like scarlatti.

this movie is of course much more interesting and entertaining once you’ve watched a few of his movies and can pick up references and allusions and jokes, and understand who is who a little bit.

jacqueline bisset was so beautiful in this it can blind one like staring at the sun
