Perhaps the French gatekeepers had in mind their own storied history of obsessives-turned-filmmakers like �������ç�Ǿ��� Truffaut and Jean-Luc Godard and took a shine to the deeply ingrained movie-ness of it all.

�������ç�Ǿ��� Truffaut’s “Day for Night” has always struck me as the ideal picture of that process — not without challenges, or quirky personalities, but with a clear sense of purpose.

As well as continuing to make budget movies, he also began handling films made by distinguished foreign film-makers, including Francois Truffaut, Ingmar Bergman and Federico Fellini and introducing them to an American audience.

There’s this famous sentence from �������ç�Ǿ��� Truffaut in France who said all the time, “I’m doing a movie against the previous one.”

�������ç�Ǿ��� Truffaut once wrote that “war films, even pacifist, even the best, willingly or not, glorify war and render it in some way attractive.”
