Hitchcock – Truffaut

In 1962 Hitchcock and Truffaut locked themselves away in Hollywood for a week to excavate the secrets behind the mise-en-scène in cinema. Based on the original recordings of this meeting – used to produce the mythical book Hitchcock-Truffaut – this film offers the greatest cinema lesson of all time and plummets us into the world of the creator of “Psycho”, “The Birds” and “Vertigo”.
Hitchcock’s incredibly modern art is elucidated and explained by today’s leading film-makers: Martin Scorsese, David Fincher, Arnaud Desplechin, Kiyoshi Kurosawa, Wes Anderson, James Gray, Olivier Assayas, Richard Linklater, Peter Bogdanovich and Paul Schrader.
