Summary

It is about François Truffaut's 1966 book on Alfred Hitchcock, Hitchcock/Truffaut, and its impact on cinema. Truffaut had interviewed his fellow film director Hitchcock and recorded said interview[1] over the course of eight days in 1962 at the latter's offices at Universal Studios, Hollywood, to write his book. The documentary features reflections from directors including James Gray, Martin Scorsese, Paul Schrader, Wes Anderson, David Fincher, Arnaud Desplechin, and Olivier Assayas, and is narrated by Bob Balaban, who co-starred with Truffaut in Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977).

Chris Nashawaty of Entertainment Weekly gave the film a grade of "A−", commenting that "the best part is getting to hear both men talk about their art in exhaustive, almost fetishistic detail".[6] Peter Travers of Rolling Stone gave the film 3.5 out of 4, saying, "My only problem with Hitchcock/Truffaut is that it's too short at 80 minutes."[7] Peter Debruge of Variety called it "Accessible yet intelligent".[8] Todd McCarthy of The Hollywood Reporter stated that "this documentary will be a top draw wherever films about filmmakers are welcome".[9]
