FREE ON CINEGEEK.DE THE BEST MOVIES IN OUR VIDEO STORE! Francois Truffaut - Une Nuit Americaine 

Normally, movies about movies don't quite show reality. At least I think so. They are either too glamorous or too decadent. But what about the human aspects of film production? "Day for Night" by Truffaut is different. Not only much better than any other film about films, but also very entertaining! Imagine being far away from home with a crew. Strangers become friends. Maybe even intimate friends. And a few weeks later the group breaks up again. The most complicated thing in this film family is probably the ego of the stars. And the uncertainties of financing. But we don't see all that on the screen. Only the result. Day For Night, on the other hand, is about boredom between shooting and technical problems. In Truffaut's Day For Night a project is shown that is certainly doomed to failure. Truffaut himself plays the director of this project and the only important thing for the director is that the film is finished at all. Whether it becomes good or bad doesn't matter. The cast consists of a beautiful American star (Jacqueline Bisset) or a young friendly lead actor (Jean-Pierre Leaud). Is there such a thing as a center? Whoever finds it can be proud! In any case, a series of stories are told effortlessly in parallel. Love affairs, pregnancy and death in the microcosm of film production. What we will see later does not correspond to what happens on the set. To love Day For Night, you don't have to be a cineaste. Probably the film is fun for everyone! Once the director remembers stealing a poster of "Citizen Kane" as a little boy at night. No wonder he had to become Truffaut!
