About this event
This affectionate farce from François Truffaut about the joys and strife 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 (Jean-Pierre Léaud), an aging but still forceful Italian diva (Valentina Cortese), and a British ingenue haunted by personal scandal (Jacqueline Bisset). Truffaut’s character is supported by his faithful script-girl, Joelle, played by Nathalie Baye in her first substantial screen appearance. The film won an Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, as well as three BAFTAs: Best Film, Best Direction and Best Actress in a Supporting Role for Valentina Cortese. This film will be screened from a rare BFI 35mm print.
