Day for Night (1973)
8/10
Unfeigned look at filmmaking
19 December 2020
I necessarily compared this film to 8 1/2 (1963) of Fellini and liked it very much. The latter was plotless with disjointed and repeating scenes taken in a surreal mood. However, this one looks so real. It is like a documentary on filmmaking. I have always wondered how it is like making a film, and what difficulties a director would have.

What is special about this film is that all the story about filmmaking and lives of the staff are presented in bits and pieces with short dialogues or using simple objects which seem awkward at the beginning, but later in different stages of the film, all those bits and pieces are recollected to form a complete production.
