Orson Welles’ first feature and greatest masterpiece – a richly philosophical survey of the seemingly unfathomable contradictions in the life and character of a media tycoon – was for Truffaut ‘so complete... a world view which is personal, generous and noble.’ He found many reasons to love and admire the film, and paid affectionate tribute to its importance to his life in Day for Night.
