A must for fans of classics films. Amazing to learn more about what made Hitchcock such a master filmmaker.

What a great picture for the cover

Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2017

Verified Purchase

In the movie they discuss how time can be elongated or cut short. The scene they focus on is from 400 Blows when the little boy sees his mother kissing someone else on the street. She realizes he's seen her and he realizes what she's doing is betraying his father and there's a little bit of dialogue, the mother says explicitly, "he saw me" and after hearing truffaut describe the scene beat by beat Hitchcock says 'I wish there hadn't been dialogue there' and he's right and that's why every single thing out of his mouth from then there out was gold. To me: now I want to talk about how this movie made me realize why some people who have gone through traumatic experiences come out healthy and others have PTSD and I think time has something to do with it. The time spent wondering if you were going to die.

Outstanding Documentary about a Legendary Filmmaker

Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2020

Verified Purchase

An outstanding documentary about Alfred Hitchcock, as based on the 1966 book by French Filmmaker, François Truffaut. Hitchcock/Truffaut is a must see for any filmmaker and any serious fan of Hitchcock. It explores themes from his films, his cinematic techniques, and has great insights/interviews from such iconic contemporary film directors such as David Fincher, Wes Anderson, James Gray, & Richard Linklater.

This is a classic

This book is a classic on movie directing. While I'm an artist and a photographer, not a movie director, his ideas are still inspiring and relevant to me. He has a clear and simple view of the world and one that I admire. I was directed to this book by Hirohiko Araki's Manga Theory and Practice. I'm very glad I followed his advice and read this book.

A Well-Intentioned Misfire

Reviewed in the United States on September 12, 2017

Verified Purchase

I missed this documentary when it played last year (very briefly) at a local art-house theater. I wanted to love it. A college film course I took in 1974 used the first edition of Truffaut's "bible" as a textbook in a semester dedicated primarily to Hitchcock's films, including his extant silents but excluding the then "Forbidden Five." Truffaut's book remains a classic must-read for anyone who cares about Hitchcock or, for that matter, film in general.

The problem I find with this film lies in its diffuse character and lack of clear focus. On its face Mr. Jones's documentary documents a book: in itself a challenge. After some interesting morsels of how the book came to be (most of which Hitchcock fans will already know), this movie can't stay with the book. It naturally gravitates somewhat to Truffaut and his career, but mostly to Truffaut's subject, at a time when F.T., along with Chabrol, Bogdonavich, and Wood were making critics sit up and pay attention to a popular entertainer's craft and recurrent themes. Meanwhile, the movie is glossed by excerpts from interviews with contemporary directors (Asayas, Bogdonavich, Linkletter, Scorsese, Shrader, among others), who talk variously about the book's impact upon them and the influence on their work of Truffaut or Hitchcock (or both). Their comments are interesting, occasionally fascinating: again, however, there's no clear through-line among them because the movie doesn't seem to have one. The net result: If you are already a Hitchcock enthusiast, you're likely to know at least 70% of what the movie offers. If you're not already a convert to the Church of Hitch, I doubt this film would make you one. Reading Truffaut's book might; watching Hitchcock's movies certainly would. Oddly I found most of the film's bonus features—outtakes of what Jones chose not to include, which compiles his interviewees' observations of "Notorious" and "Rope"—more interesting and informative than this film's final cut.

I suppose it is blasphemous to rate this documentary anything lower than five stars, but Ebert taught us to to call it as we see it. I've reported what I've seen.

A Chance to See Hitchcock's Brilliance Elucidated with Discussion and Film Clips

Love the insights offered by the two experts as they converse. Truffaut asks just the right questions, and Hitchcock illuminates us through his answers with his genius.

Of course its great

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 5, 2021

Verified Purchase

I would have liked to have seen or heard more of the actual discussions between Hitchcock and Truffaut (although I have read the book more than once) and I could have lived with fewer talking heads, and I would have liked more on the early films. But really this is extremely good, and the importance of this incredibly influential book shines through.

Great documentary for students of Hitchcock.

Reviewed in Canada on April 22, 2017

Excellent documentary on 2 of the great film makers ever. Still not sure why my grandmother considered him "a horror" to live behind. But then again his films convey a dark sense of humor and so well planned ahead via storyboarding!

Avvincente e illuminante.Un maestro come Truffaut si abbevera alla fonte del Genio assoluto senza il quale quella del cinema sarebbe stata un’altra storia (minore). Impossibile non averlo.

Grandísimo documental. Quizás se echa en falta algo de imagen ya que se basa en las grabaciones sonoras de las entrevistas que se plasmaron en el libro. Aun así, al igual que el libro, es un documento imprescindible para cualquiera al que le guste el cine.
