Cinematic DNA
Chazelle cited films like 'Singin’ in the Rain,' 'La Nuit Américaine' and 'Amarcord' as inspirations for 'Babylon’s' behind-the-scenes narrative.

The closest point of reference might be Truffaut's 'Day For Night', though that film is a very happy celebration of moviemaking and mine is the opposite.
