I am REALLY looking forward to eventually seeing this documentary, either in an art house theatre, or eventually on Netflix / disc.
No student of film is not intimately familiar with Hitchcock or Truffaut's body of work. And it's a safe bet that those same students have read (and relished) "Hitchcock / Truffaut - A definitive study of Alfred Hitchcock by Francois Truffaut (1966)". That book's foundation is days and days of interviews that Truffaut conducted with Hitchcock and the transcripts thereof.
This documentary has as its foundation that book and recordings of the interviews, and is supplemented by contributions from the likes of Wes Anderson and Martin Scorcese, who talk about how that book influenced their own filmmaking styles.
This should be fascinating.
And holy crap! I just found out it's playing at 9:15 tonight here in Ottawa.
Gotta go!
