About a book about a director

Hitchcock/Truffaut (2015)

Directed by Kent Jones this documentary has contributions from a number of famous directors. We look into the famous 8 day interview of Hitchcock by Truffaut as well as Hitchcock's films.

While this is a really good look into the career of Hitchcock and the famous interview at times this is a bit of a fluff piece. The film discussion is excellent and really dips into the craft of Hitchcock. I enjoyed the film and it does make me want to read Truffaut's book but I do wonder if it could have been more than a 90 minute advert for a book.
