Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Robert Joyner The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Leoni Haney Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.

vitachiel Movie about a movie who's director is the director of the movie's movie. Nice to have a look behind the scenes of film making, although much of it looks rather staged, including bad acting and over-acting. Which makes the fictional movie about people making a movie really looks like people making a fictional movie. In a movie that you don't really like, sometimes there's one scene that almost makes up for the rest of the movie. A scene that you will probably never forget. Like the Japanese guy doing a karaoke act of the Sex Pistols in Lost In Translation, here the WOW scene is the short cat intermezzo. Silence... tension...touched... A moment of true movie magic.

gavin6942 A committed film director struggles to complete his movie while coping with a myriad of crises, personal and professional, among the cast and crew.I find it interesting that in French the term "American night" means the same as our term "day for night", wherein scenes filmed during the day appear to be shot at night (although discerning eyes can still tell the difference). Why "American night"? Interesting.One of the film's themes is whether or not films are more important than life for those who make them, its many allusions both to film-making and to movies themselves (perhaps unsurprising given that Truffaut began his career as a film critic who championed cinema as an art form). The film opens with a picture of Lillian and Dorothy Gish, to whom it is dedicated. In one scene, Ferrand opens a package of books he had ordered: they are books on directors he admires such as Luis Buñuel, Carl Theodor Dreyer, Ingmar Bergman, Alfred Hitchcock, Jean-Luc Godard, Ernst Lubitsch, Roberto Rossellini and Robert Bresson.

Tim Kidner This sparkling comedy drama from French master director Francois Traffaut is the sort of self-loving, semi-mock at The Industry that they - and the critics - all love.But, making a film about making a film can't be as easy as it would seem - how realistic do you make it, how much comedy and mishap do you throw in?I found on this, my third viewing, that little details continue to reveal themselves and works smoother and better as a whole. Jacqueline Bisset looks lovelier than ever, as the lead actress in the movie, titled 'May I Introduce Pamela?', who's a dodgy choice as she hasn't made a film since suffering a nervous breakdown, which makes the London- based insurers twitchy......which puts greater pressure onto Truffaut himself, as relationships/affairs, kittens that won't drink milk, stunts that don't get stunted properly and a death in the cast, which necessitates a whole re-write. You get the picture?This all sounds manic and possibly stupid, but as I said this isn't Hollywood and my second paragraph; Trauffaut keeps a tight rein and it all works in a kind of well-organised Robert Altman picture sort-of-way. Loose enough to seem free and flexible but with enough structure.Many love Day for Night a lot - clever and masterful as it is - and only a seasoned director could dare such, but isn't the sort that I can really get my teeth into. Preferring Trauffaut's gritty and thought- provoking classics, this one is more about entertainment than statement. Which is fine, but I just don't get the same buzz, or anticipation from it.This only refers to the DVD - it's verified as an Amazon purchase - has only French writing on the case. The default languages setting seems to be dubbed English, which actually starts off OK, with at least actors seemingly French, speaking English but soon, lip-sync fails as more of the cast appear. It's also (presumably) dubbed into German & Spanish. To watch it properly, you need French language but you need also to set English subtitles; they don't appear automatically.Subtitles (according to the DVD blurb, in French) are in English, German, Spanish, Swedish, Portuguese, Dutch, Hungarian, Czech, Turkish, Greek & Romanian.

Lechuguilla Making a movie can be grueling work. It can also be boring with lots of downtime, depending on level of contribution. Clashing egos, financial problems, technical glitches, snafus and pressures of all kinds also are common on movie sets. It's a grubby business, hardly the idolized fantasy of outsiders.The film's director Francois Truffaut plays the role of director Ferrand on the movie set of "Meet Pamela", the film within a film. All kinds of people participate in the making of "Meet Pamela", including the producer, the stunt man, sound man, prop man, and script girl. There's also a recalcitrant cat that won't do what it's supposed to do in its appointed scene. "We'll shoot the scene when you can dig up a cat that can act", growls the director. Funny stuff. Through it all, Ferrand does the best he can. And viewers get a peek at what goes into making a movie."Day For Night" belongs in the comedy-drama genre. There are funny moments. There are also quite serious moments. Some of the characters come across as insecure prima donnas, like the actress Severine (Valentina Cortese) who gets frustrated because she keeps opening the wrong door in one of her scenes. And midway through, a scene proves tragically prophetic, but it's very subtle.It's a talky film with the immense dialogue of a stage play. Which might explain why the film's pace seems speeded up. Dialogue is rushed, with a conspicuous absence of natural pauses in people's conversations. As such, "Day For Night" comes across as a bit contrived, forced, put-on. Which it is. But viewers are supposed to be getting the opposite impression. That's my main complaint, though, additionally, I would have recast the role of Alphonse.As movies about movies go, "Day For Night" is one of the better ones. Viewers do get a peek behind the camera. But the entire film is still fictional. And viewers would be mistaken if they assumed that "Day For Night" is movie-making realism.
