The just-released Hitchcock Truffaut documentary based on the classic 1962 interviews and book of the same name. Hitchcock Truffaut captures key moments from the interviews and reveals Hitchcock more as an artist than an entertainer. Many of the Great One’s movies are referenced, memorably Vertigo and Psycho. Prominent directors such as Peter Bogdanovich and Paul Schrader offer their observations on Hitchcock’s style and techniques. A labor of love by Kent Jones.(TVA Films). Two thumbs way up for many new insights into The Master–his psychology and his work.
