“Haunting and bittersweet. Bogdanovich bravely lays his soul bare in this remarkable film”

One Day Since Yesterday: Peter Bogdanovich  & The Lost American Film is the story of maverick film director  Peter Bogdanovich’s love for both the late Dorothy Stratten and his  “lost” film They All Laughed. Murdered by her estranged husband as  Bogdanovich was editing the film, One Day Since Yesterday  summons up the romance, heartbreak and devotion present as Bogdanovich  bought his film back from the studio when they threatened to  shelve it and his efforts to distribute it himself, almost to his own  ruin. A real life love story of passion and belief in the power of art.  One Day Since Yesterday is an homage to the lost era of the 70s American  Auteur, staking a claim for They All Laughed as the last great film of  that time.

Through the story of Peter’s journey  with They All Laughed, One Day Since Yesterday explores all of  Bogdanovich’s career (The Last Picture Show, Saint Jack, What’s Up Doc,  Paper Moon, Mask, Saint Jack), and his challenges to see his personal vision vindicated in  an era unsympathetic to the bold and unique visions he risked it all  on. It’s the story of a lost film, which played The Venice Film Festival  in 1981, unavailable in any medium for years and it’s triumphant  re-appreciation, championed by filmmakers like Quentin Tarantino, Wes  Anderson and Noah Baumbach and of the sweet, makeshift family that’s  sprung up around They All Laughed’s tragedies — bonds still strong even  30 years later. One Day Since Yesterday is a wistful valentine to art,  love, loss, redemption and the power of cinema.
