The result is a portrait of one of the greatest directors the world has ever known, an all-round specialist who masterminded everything, from the screenplay and the photography to the editing and the soundtrack.

This peek into the brain of one of cinema's greats is a must-read for all film aficionados.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Phillip Lopate <i>The New York Times Book Review</i> One is ravished by the density of insights into cinematic questions....Truffaut performed a tour de force of tact in getting this ordinarily guarded man to open up as he had never done before (and never would again)....If the 1967 <i>Hitchcock/Truffaut</i> can now be seen as something of a classic, this revised version is even better.<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>François Truffaut (1932-1984) was an award-winning film director, screenwriter, producer, actor, and film critic.
