Hitchcock/Truffaut
In 1962 the master filmmaker Alfred Hitchcock and a young French New Wave upstart François Truffaut locked themselves away in Hollywood for a week to excavate the secrets behind the mise-en-scène in cinema. Based on the original recordings of this meeting — used to produce the mythical book Hitchcock/Truffaut — this film illustrates the greatest cinema lessons of all time and plummets us into the world of the creator of Psycho, The Birds, and Vertigo. Hitchcock’s incredibly modern art is elucidated and explained by some of today’s leading filmmakers including: Martin Scorsese, David Fincher, Kiyoshi Kurosawa, Wes Anderson, Olivier Assayas, Richard Linklater, Peter Bogdanovich and Paul Schrader. Todd McCarthy of The Hollywood Reporter called it, “A film buff’s nirvana… A resourceful, illuminating, and very welcome documentation both of filmmaking and the making of film history.” Jordan Hoffman of biography.com described it “like an entire semester of film school dumped in your lap. And it is absolutely terrific.” (PG-13, 80 min.)
