In 1962, Alfred Hitchcock and a 30-year-old François Truffaut sequestered themselves in a windowless Hollywood office for a weeklong conversation. The result: the seminal book “Hitchcock/Truffaut,” published a half century ago, dissecting every film Hitchcock had made until then, illuminating his masterful techniques, making the case for the popular director as an artist, and influencing generations of filmmakers. Kent Jones brings “the Bible of Cinema” to invigorating life. He interviews filmmakers whose work has been profoundly influenced by Hitchcock: Martin Scorsese, David Fincher, Richard Linklater, Olivier Assayas, and many others.
“Kent Jones’ doc on the groundbreaking interview book gets you drunk on Hitchcock’s films again. Nirvana for movie lovers.” – Peter Travers, The Rolling Stone
“This is a jewel box of a movie for anyone who loves either Hitchcock or Truffaut – or better yet, both.” – Stephanie Zacharek, TIME Magazine
