François Truffaut : interviews

Authors:François Truffaut, Ronald Bergan

Summary:"The French New Wave was one of the most seismic events in cinema history, and among its contributors was Francois Truffaut (1932-1984). Alongside Jean Luc Goddard, Eric Rohmer, Claude Chabrol, Jacques Rivette, and others, Truffaut helped form the New Wave's aesthetics and vision and was the first to conceptualise the auteur theory. As this collection of interviews progresses, we follow Truffaut's creative evolution almost as much as we follow his alter-ego Antoine Doinel (actor Jean-Pierre Leaud) through Truffaut's semi-autobiographical series that begins with his first feature 'The 400 blows' and ends with 'Love on the run'. Truffaut, a perceptive film critic for 'Cahiers du cinema' before becoming a director, was able to be objective about his own and other people's films. Always concerned with the process as well as the product of his profession, Truffaut maintained his role as critic and commentator throughout his career." -- Back cover
