Day for Night (1973)
Reasonable entertaining with all the meta “behind the scenes”-scenes showing the crazyness of a movieset. It has a very fast paced chaotic vibe with tons of big and minor things going on, but everyone is quick to find solutions and just move on.
It may not be totally fair towards a movie from 1973, but recently I have gotten tired of these self-indulgent movies about movies from the industry. Especially after seeing Babylon recently which was simply way too much. I liked this one better. At least it felt more authentic, and less a “love letter to cinema”, but more just showing what it is at face value and not romanticizing anything. Because it is isn’t exactly glamour we see here. It is crazy work that destroys people. For me, the best “cinema love letter”-type movie is still Cinema Paradiso. This was a fun little quirky thing, but I really need more than something that feels like it is mostly made for people who work in the industry.
Watched for Tildes movie of the week
