François Truffaut, une autobiographie
François Truffaut conserved everything, the photos of people he loved, the pieces of paper on which he jotted down ideas, his correspondence, the many drafts of his screenplays. He wanted to keep a trace of things. This documentary began with these traces to draw together the filmmaker’s favorite themes, which recur from film to film: childhood, apprenticeship, the relations between men and women, the primacy of art over life, the cult of the dead. But this film is also a portrait with many voices. More than a memorial to the director’s glory, this film seeks to gauge his legacy by revealing the hidden but ever-present bond between François Truffaut and audiences today.
