There is also a bevy of archival footage and photographs from both directors’ careers. For this documentary, Jones pairs excerpts from the book with audio from Hitchcock and Truffaut’s conversation. The impetus for the movie is a legendary book that came out in the 1960s in which Truffaut, a self-avowed fan of Hitchcock, sits down with the director of Psycho, Vertigo and Rear Window for a honest, revealing talk about filmmaking. There’s more introspection on Hitchcock’s work, and the general art of filmmaking, in these 80 minutes than in most books and films about the profession of making movies. The movie, which is currently running at New York City’s Film Forum and in Los Angeles, is a project perfect for cinephiles. Hitchcock/Truffaut, Kent Jones’ new documentary on Alfred Hitchcock through the eyes of François Truffaut, is a thoughtful, in-depth analysis of one of the most influential filmmakers of all time.
