If you loved Day for Night, try The 400 Blows
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by François Truffaut, and they both carry the bittersweet, foreign gem, tender mood tags, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Day for Night, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The 400 Blows is
Paris streets, autumn leaves, a torn notebook page. A young boy and his friend dodge adult indifference, their schemes unraveling. Truffaut's coming-of-age tale sets the tone for the French New Wave.
