This loving farce from Francois Truffaut about the joys and turbulence of moviemaking is one of his most beloved films. Truffaut himself appears as the harried director of a frivolous melodrama, the shooting of which is plagued by the whims of a neurotic actor (The 400 Blows’ JEAN-PIERRE LÉAUD); an aging but still forceful Italian diva (Juliet of the Spirits’ VALENTINA CORTESE); and a British ingénue haunted by personal scandal

die Tragödie vor oder hinter der Kamera? Ein sehr gelungener und witziger Film über das Filmemachen.

Einer meiner Favoriten!!
So witzig! Herrlich der fliessende Übergang von Leben und Film, und die allerwichtigste Frage eines jeden Cineasten: was ist wichtiger? Kann ich jedem Filmeliebhaber wärmstens empfehlen.
