A director struggles to complete a feature that's plagued with problems among the cast and crew. Truffaut uses his own experiences as well as well known facts about making a movie to deliver an astonishing film about the process that's a homage to the creative and madness aspect of a beloved medium. Truffaut delivers his second acting performance as the director which gives the film more authenticity while his frequent collaborator and alter-ego Jean-Pierre Léaud stars along with Jacqueline BissetJean-Pierre Aumont, Valentina Cortese and Nathalie Baye amongst other completing a stellar ensemble. 1001 Films' coverage of films on DVD.
