Hitchcock by françois truffaut7/5/2023 Truffaut, an up and coming filmmaker at the time, provides the viewer (or reader) a glimpse into what it would be like to interview the legendary filmmaker yourself. The film is based around a conversation between Hitchcock and Truffaut that took place in 1962. These commentators are certainly insightful, but you don't get enough from each of them to get full satisfaction. Director Kent Jones gathers several of Hollywood's greatest filmmakers, including Martin Scorsese, Richard Linklater, Peter Bogdanovich, and David Fincher, to discuss Hitchcock's influence on the art of cinema and some of his most effective features. Hitchcock/Truffaut is a fascinating look into several of Hitch's films, and even some of Truffaut's, even if it is a little too short to call it a full exploration. I knew a bit about Hitchcock, but I never dug deep into his archival footage or books written about him to understand the full psychology of the master of suspense. The success of documentary is usually based on how much you already know and how much you learn about the main subject of the film.
