Few People Could Ever Love Films More Than Truffaut.
Next time when you are ready to criticize a bad film, watch Day for Night, watch how hard it is to make a movie, even a bad one. Hidden under his calm facial expression is Truffaut's extreme love for films. His nightmare sequence is treated in such a beautiful way--a teenager Truffaut sneaking into the theatre to steal pictures of Citizen Kane. No matter how much reality tries to tear his dream apart, he still keeps the most genuine and sincere love for films, the love he has been having since childhood.
We lost Truffaut too early, otherwise it would be interesting to see what he could make at such on old age, just as Godard and his newest Goodbye to Languages. Few people could ever love films more than Truffaut. Few.
