Totally Truffaut

23 Films for Understanding the Man and the Filmmaker

Beschreibung

Totally Truffaut addresses two central issues in François Truffaut's cinema. First, it follows the coded inscription of some major life events in his films, from his illegitimate birth to his passionate but doomed relationship with Catherine Deneuve. Second, it accounts for his lasting worldwide success and dispels several clichés on his work, for instance the superiority of his earlier films and his subsequent decline as a major director.

Autor

After earning a PhD at Harvard, Anne Gillain taught courses on French cinema at Wellesley College. She met François Truffaut in 1979 while writing a memoir on his films and remained in touch with in until his death in 1984. This was the prelude to a series of books that have been translated in English by Alistair Fox: François Truffaut: The Lost Secret, Truffaut on Cinema. She also published A Companion to François Truffaut, a volume of articles edited in collaboration with Dudley Andrew.
