Second viewing; previously viewed between 1983 and 1986
U.S. title: Day for Night
The shooting of a motion picture. The young male star is emotionally immature, his girlfriend the script-girl does not really want to commit to a serious relationship, the female young star has had an earlier nervous breakdown, the older female star is an alcoholic who cannot remember her lines, the director is overstressed about not meeting the deadline, and so on.
I enjoyed this film slightly more than the first time, but still think it's overrated. There's not much to say about it, it's a series of banal incidents, some entertaining, some not so much, some which ring true, some which do not, though all arguably very well filmed. The director character ponders that the kind of film he is shooting, with stars and studios, had its days counted, but he was apparently wrong.
Rating: 43 (up from 33)
