Back in 1962, Alfred Hitchcock and Francois Truffaut shut themselves away in a room for a week to discuss films, filmmaking and Hitch’s oeuvre in particular. The results were published in a book called, not-too-surprisingly, Hitchcock/Truffaut, and now the conversations are the basis for a fascinating new documentary that has a trailer up at Apple.
Director/writer Kent Jones and co-writer Serge Toubiana have rounded up living master class in directing to discuss more about Hitchcock’s style, skill and body of work. The likes of Martin Scorsese, Wes Anderson, David Fincher, Olivier Assayas, Peter Bogdanovich, Arnaud Desplechin, James Gray, Kiyoshi Kurosawa, Richard Linklater, Paul Schrader and more bring their own unique insights to Hitch’s movies and the impact they had on cinema, even as we also get to hear recordings of the two original directors in discussion.
Hitchcock/Truffaut played to great acclaim at the Cannes and Toronto Film Festivals and promises to serve as a lecture series on how some of cinema’s best films have come about through the eyes of people who know what they’re talking about. The film will be out in the US on December 2, and before that will screen as part of the London Film Festival on October 10 and 18, though both showings are currently sold out.
