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 The 400 Blows, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Day for Night is
