One of the most celebrated filmmakers of all time, Francois Truffaut was an intensely private individual who cultivated the public image of a man completely consumed by his craft. But his personal story--from which he drew extensively to create the characters and plots of his films--is itself an extraordinary human drama. Now, with captivating immediacy, Antoine de Baecque and Serge Toubiana give us the definitive story of this beloved artist. They begin with the unwanted, mischievous child who learned to love movies and books as an escape from sadness and confusion: as a boy, Francois came to identify with screen characters and to worship actresses. Following his early adult years as a journalist, during which he gained fame as France's most iconoclastic film critic, the obsessive prodigy began to make films of his own, and before he was thirty, notched the two masterpieces The 400 Blows and Jules and Jim. As Truffaut's dazzling body of work evolves, in the shadow of the politics of his day, including the student uprisings of 1968, we watch him learning the lessons of his masters Fellini and Hitchcock. And we witness the progress of his often tempestuous personal relationships, including his violent falling-out with Jean-Luc Godard (who owed Truffaut the idea for Breathless) and his rapturous love affairs with the many glamorous actresses he directed, among them Jacqueline Bisset and Jeanne Moreau. With Fanny Ardant, Truffaut had a child only thirteen months before dying of a brain tumor at the age of fifty-two.Here is a life of astonishing emotional range, from the anguish of severe depression to the exaltation of Oscar victory. Based on unprecedented access to Truffaut's papers, including notes toward an unwritten autobiography, de Baecque and Toubiana's richly detailed work is an incomparably authoritative revelation of a singular genius.

François Truffaut (1932-1984) ranks among the greatest film directors and has had a worldwide impact on filmmaking as a screenwriter, producer, film critic, and founding member of the French New Wave. His most celebrated films include The 400 Blows, Shoot the Piano Player, Jules and Jim, Day for Night, and The Last Metro. A Truffaut Notebook is a lively and eclectic introduction to the life and work of this major cinematic figure. In entries as brief as a page, as well as in full-length essays, it examines topics such as Truffaut's mentors, the autobiographical nature of his films, his place in the film tradition, his film criticism, his reputation, his relationships with other directors, and the formal and thematic coherence of his body of work. Sam Solecki also argues for Truffaut's continuing appeal and relevance by examining his influence on filmmakers like Woody Allen, Noah Baumbach, Alexander Payne, Patrice Leconte, and Jean-Pierre Jeunet, and on writers such as Julian Barnes, Ann Beattie, and Salman Rushdie. Because the book returns regularly to the author's shifting responses to Truffaut's work over the last fifty years, it also offers an autobiographical meditation on his own lifelong fascination with film. Consisting of over eighty short entries and essays, as well as provocative lists, dreams, and quizzes, A Truffaut Notebook is an original and exciting text and a model of passionate engagement with cinema.

Nesta aula de cinema, François Truffaut, um dos mestres da nouvelle vague, entrevista longamente o mestre do suspense Alfred Hitchcock, diretor de Janela indiscreta, Psicose, Um corpo que cai, entre outros. Durante as décadas de 50 e 60, quando François Truffaut idealizou e realizou a série de entrevistas que resultariam neste livro, Alfred Hitchcock (1899-1980) era visto - sobretudo nos Estados Unidos - como um cineasta mediano e comercial. No entanto, para Truffaut - e para os jovens diretores e críticos franceses da revista Cahiers du Cinéma -, Hitchcock estava entre os maiores cineastas de todos os tempos, ao lado de nomes como Jean Renoir, Federico Fellini, Ingmar Bergman e Luis Buñuel. Com o objetivo de modificar a opinião dos críticos americanos - e com o imperioso desejo de "consultar o Oráculo" -, Truffaut propôs ao diretor inglês que respondesse quinhentas perguntas sobre sua obra e carreira. Nesta extensa conversa, Hitchcock comenta detalhadamente sua produção, desde os primeiros filmes mudos feitos na Inglaterra até os coloridos e sonoros de Hollywood, falando sobre a concepção de cada obra, a elaboração do roteiro, as circunstâncias, as inovações e os problemas técnicos, a relação com os atores. O diálogo entre os dois diretores permite ao leitor acompanhar não apenas a evolução da obra do cineasta inglês, mas a própria história do cinema. Lançada em 1967, a primeira edição de Hitchcock/Truffaut contemplava a produção de Hitchcock até Cortina rasgada, seu qüinquagésimo filme. Para a edição definitiva, de 1983, Truffaut acrescentou um capítulo com os últimos anos e filmes do cineasta - feito com base na correspondência trocada entre eles. Hitchcock/Truffaut foi publicado pela primeira vez no Brasil nos anos 80, e logo passou a ser disputado em sebos e bibliotecas. Com nova tradução e projeto gráfico, centenas de imagens e um prefácio inédito do crítico e professor Ismail Xavi[...]

Book by Truffaut, Francois, Moussy, Marcel

In the turbulent sixties, the provocative French film journal Cahiers du Cinéma was at its most influential and controversial. The first successes of the New Wave by major Cahiers contributors such as Jean-Luc Godard, François Truffaut, Jacques Rivette, Eric Rohmer, and Claude Chabrol focused international attention on the revitalization of French cinema and its relation to film criticism; and in the early 1960s the journal’s laudatory critiques of popular American movies were attaining the greatest notoriety.As the lively articles, interviews, and polemical discussions in this volume reveal, the 1960s saw the beginnings of significant new directions in filmmaking and film criticism changes in which the New Wave itself was a major factor. The auteur theory that the journal had championed in the 1950s began to be rethought and revalued. At the same time, along with a reassessment of American film, Cahiers began to embrace new, often oppositional forms of cinema and criticism, culminating in the political and aesthetic radicalism of the ensuing decade.The selections, translated under the supervision of the British Film Institute, are annotated by Jim Hillier, and context is provided in his general introduction and part introductions. For an understanding of the important changes that took place in cinema and film criticism in the 1960s and beyond, this book is essential reading.

Lejeune; Easy Virtue in context; the West coast setting of and cultural anxiety in The Birds; Hitchcockian aspects of Balachander's The Doll; and Kent Jones's Hitchcock/Truffaut.

"One of the most readable books of movie criticism, and one of the most instructive."--American FilmFrançois Truffaut (1932-1984), perhaps the most respected member of the New Wave group of French moviemakers, left a legacy of beloved and influential films that include The 400 Blows, Jules and Jim, Stolen Kisses, Day for Night, and The Story of Adele H. Equally fascinating is the very large body of film criticism Truffaut wrote over many years for Cahiers du Cinema and other leading film journals. Wonderfully varied, personal, and informal, these reviews all communicate unabashed love for and an enormous excitement about the movies. The Films in My Life is Truffaut's own selection of more than one hundred essays that range widely over the history of film and pay tribute to Truffaut's particular heroes, among them Hitchcock, Welles, Chaplin, Renoir, Cocteau, Bergman, and Buñuel.
