Day for Night (1973)

In this episode, we explore François Truffaut's iconic film about filmmaking, La Nuit Américaine (1973), or Day for Night. This meta-cinematic gem blurs the lines between fiction and reality, offering a witty and poignant glimpse into the chaos and emotional entanglements of movie production. It’s both a love letter to cinema and a sharp critique of the madness behind the magic. Tune in as we unpack how Truffaut masterfully contrasts the illusions of film with the raw human emotions that drive the art of moviemaking.
