Watch Hitchcock/Truffaut For Free

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

Film Perfection

Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

We can not overlook this title because of the admiration we feel for these two directors. And when we understand that it comes about also for a book our respect has already risen to the highest possible extent.Documentary filmed tape showing the desire of Truffaut to get acquainted with the great Hitchcock.Ultimately, both directors meet and they develop a friendship. To a large extent this unusual relationship influenced Truffaut in his future work.As analysts of the films of Hitchcock are invited legends in the film business as Scorsese, Linklater and many others. If you're a fan, do not pass by this title.My blog: http://vihrenmitevmovies.blogspot.bg/

1997:After watching Hitchcock's superb Young and Innocent my dad showed me a fantastic looking book called Hitchcock/Truffaut,which along with having an interesting interview on the title,was also filled with startling still images.2016:Seeing a few tantalising clips of their new shows,I decided to take a look at Channel 4 on Demand for new eps.Expecting to find Comedy titles on the front page,I was surprised to discover that a doc had recently been made about the book!,which led to me joining Hitchcock/Truffaut.The outline of the doc:Despite coming from a completely different world of cinema, François Truffaut finds himself to become a huge fan of fellow film maker Alfred Hitchcock. Interested in being able to discuss Hitchcock work in depth, Truffaut asks Hitchcock if he can do an extensive interview with him,and turn it into a book.Hiring interpreter Helen Scott to help,Hitchcock and Truffaut get set to meet.View on the film:Whilst strangely offering no discussion on what was a major collaboration for Hitchcock, directors Serge Toubiana & Kent Jones use Bernard Herman's classic scores to underline the pace of conversations,from the lively,snappy exchanges over Psycho,to the quiet contemplation over Vertigo. Bringing the voices of the directors off the page,Jones and Toubiana unveil an extraordinary amount of audio and visual archive,with the level that Hitchcock let his guard down being highlighted in Hitchcock asking for the tape recorder to be turned off for "off the record" stories. Allowing others to join in on this famous filmmaking encounter, Jones and Toubiana look at the impact of the book,and expand on some of the original conversations with energetic interviews from David Fincher and Martin Scorsese,as Truffaut meets Hitchcock.

Another year, another Hitchcock documentary. I suppose I was expecting more from HITCHCOCK/TRUFFAUT before of all the high brow praise surrounding it, and the link to an early 1960s interview between the master and French director Francois Truffaut promised plenty. However, despite the title, the interview isn't really mentioned all that much and limited to only a few audio snippets linked along the way. I suppose they featured it predominantly to make this stand out from all the other Hitchcock documentaries over the years.Instead this documentary is the usual praise-fest in which various familiar faces show up and talk about how much of a genius Hitchcock was. Martin Scorsese features heavily alongside other notables like Wes Anderson and David Fincher. Most of the film looks at VERTIGO and PSYCHO and there are many clips utilised from both films. I've always loved PSYCHO but consider VERTIGO to be a bit overrated although it seems these pretentious high brow intellectuals love to analyse it to craft their own theories. Not my cup of tea really - I'm just a kind of 'sit back and enjoy' kind of guy and that's the reason I love Hitchcock, he knew how to entertain.

This documentary "Hitchcock/Truffaut" is interesting and informative for the way it details the way the master of suspense worked on his films as Hitch was an icon and inspiration to many as you and many others know his movies left a lasting impact! However many may not know that a 1966 book was published called "Hitchcock/Truffaut" it was a book on cinema and how that the work of Alfred had influenced French director and writer Truffaut. As during this film you the viewer get to hear the actual audio recordings of the interview for the book and see clips from many of Hitch's films and it gives in detail Alfred's background to the days even when he started in advertising. And it talks about how Alfred saw the world as a one world view director as often calling his actors and actresses cattle, clearly Alfred was demanding as discussed is how he shot his films with an emphasis on space and geography. And anyone who's watched a lot of Hitchcock movies know that his camera work was top notch the way he did scenes at angles the documentary talks of this also. Aside from the clips and talk of the impact of his movies other well known directors talk about how Alfred influenced their work as in the film Wes Anderson, David Fincher, and Richard Linklater to name a few give their take on Hitch. Overall good informative documentary that was an interesting look at the master of suspense.
