Editorial Reviews

Product Description

Influential film critic, leading Nouvelle Vague director and heir to the humanistic cinematic tradition of Jean Renoir, François Truffaut made films that reflected his three professed passions: a love of cinema, an interest in male-female relationships and a fascination with children. A comprehensive, behind-the-scenes examination of his entire career, this fascinating book provides an illuminating and comprehensively illustrated guide to his entire career, and an in-depth look at his methods.

5.0 out of 5 stars An illustrious insight to a master at work., March 17, 2006
By Doctor Trance (MA, United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
I think they should have opted for a color photo on the slipcover, as the black and white scene they used gives no indication of the stunning use of color photography found inside this book. It is loaded with stills taken from the production of all of Truffaut's films, and is packed with pics I've never seen before.

There have been lots of books on Truffaut over the years, and most of them covering his personal life, and in depth anlaysis of all his films, but this is the first I've seen to focus strictly on what it took for Truffaut to get each of his film's made. It certainly isn't a photo book, as there's tons of text accounting the many facets of a man who loved his craft. Everything from how certain actors came to get parts in his film, to how Truffaut would invent scenes in his films, right in the middle of production.

I certainly haven't read it all yet, but what I have I found very intriguing, and between the in depth stories behind the films, and the great pictorial history, this book is certainly a keeper.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing Book, January 18, 2007
By CGov (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews
I bought this for my husband (a filmmaker) and he devoured this book. He has other books about Truffaut, and this one still provides new information. The photos are beautiful and the text informative.
