Description:

In his early reviews of American and European films, François Truffaut ignored the artificial boundaries between Hollywood and 'foreign' films and 'A' and 'B' productions. As these articles make clear, what Truffaut prized most was the cinematic 'truth' in those films he admired; he despised the then-current 'literariness' of French cinema. Truffaut calls here for a New Wave in both production and criticism. His unique, idiosyncratic writing style has been carefully preserved in these translations, allowing the reader access to writings that shaped his later film career and changed the face of modern film criticism.
