In 1962 Hitchcock and Truffaut met for a week to excavate the secrets behind the mise-en-scène in cinema. Based on the original recordings of this meeting—which became the mythical book Hitchcock/Truffaut—this film illustrates the greatest cinema lesson, elucidated by today’s leading filmmakers.
With a wealth of directors on hand—Assayas, Bogdanovich, Desplechin, Linklater, Schrader, and Scorsese included—film critic and super-cinephile Kent Jones charts the influence and impact of Truffaut’s Hitchcock interviews, and his subsequent text, in this insightful documentary essay. A must!
