Directed by Kent Jones and featuring folks like Martin Scorsese, David Fincher, Arnaud Desplechin, Kiyoshi Kurosawa, Wes Anderson, James Gray, Olivier Assayas, Richard Linklater, Peter Bogdanovich and Paul Schrader (um, that’s 10 more reasons to watch the film right there), the documentary illuminates Hitchcock’s insights into his work, via his biggest fan, Truffaut. This is a must-see for any film fan, and it’s a picture we called "an enjoyable appendix" to the book that Truffaut wrote after his visit with Hitchcock.
"Hitchcock/Truffaut" opens on December 2nd. Watch below.
