These are photographs of what the people were talking about (to adapt a famous phrase of Hitchcock’s), and insistent reminders of what is at the core of the “pure cinema” that was their ongoing subject: images that both stand alone and link with other images. En agosto de 1962, cuando Franois Truffaut comenz esta entrevista no era as.

The Alfred Hitchcock–François Truffaut interview in the summer of 1962-actually a six-day series of conversations between the two directors, filled with mutual interrogation, self-scrutiny, and self-disclosure on both sides-is legendary, and, as it turns out, it’s going to take repeated efforts and various media to adequately and accurately “print the legend.” It took five years for Truffaut to shape the transcription of their always interesting and substantive but meandering discussion into what he called the “Hitchbook,” supplemented by carefully chosen illustrations from the films. La obra de Alfred Hitchcock es hoy admirada y respetada en el mundo entero.
