The Films in My Life, by Francois TruffautHitchcock, by Francois TruffautReview by Jeffrey M. Anderson Buy The Films in My Life, by Francois Truffaut Buy Hitchcock, by Francois Truffaut
Though Hitchcock did many interviews and had a distinct public persona, he rarely opened up to interviewers. Peter Bogdanovich's great interviews notwithstanding, this is the essential book on Alfred Hitchcock and a model for many other such interview books to come (such as the recent Billy Wilder interview book by Cameron Crowe). Truffaut edits the interviews in chronological order of the release dates of the films. Sometimes he gets Hitch to go into great detail about his films, and at other times the Master simply dismisses them. There's a detailed and complete Hitchcock filmography and dozens of great pictures. (Note: beware of used copies of the previous edition. Truffaut completed the book for the first time after Torn Curtain in 1966. After that, Hitch released three more movies and Truffaut updated the book to include Topaz, Frenzy and Family Plot.) |
