Description
Book SynopsisA comprehensive, behind-the-scenes examination of Truffaut's entire career.
Trade Review"Meticulous... Not only is Truffaut at Work good on uncovering the works in progress, it is also adept at joining the dots between projects... You can't fault [Le Berre's prose] for thoroughness and informed enthusiasm, but the real treat here is the reproduction of Truffaut ephemera... And a plethora of behind-the-scenes black-and-white images that make the director look like the coolest man who ever walked the earth."—Empire
"Extends for beyond the scope of a common-or-garden account of Truffaut’s life... If you have an interest in either Truffaut himself or simply filmmaking, this is a crucial book. Truffaut fans will savour and enjoy every page."—Film Ireland
"It is fascinating to learn how works that flow easily and lightly on the screen were often born of pain and conflict."—George Perry, The Sunday Times
"A brilliant blend of film history and coffee table quality stills, this stunning tribute to the career of the celebrated French director is an absolute delight to leaf through."—Film Review
