Truffaut

The complete films of France's favorite director

From The 400 Blows to Jules and Jim to The Last Metro, François Truffaut (1932-1984) practically defined the French cinema of his era and was one of the founders of the New Wave which took the industry by storm in the late 1950s. His endlessly touching and romantic films—always tinged by a touch of reflective sadness—made him one of France`s favorite and most successful directors. This book traces Truffaut`s career and includes rare images drawn from his archives.

"Trois nouveaux titres chez TASCHEN. Cette collection des filmographies complètes est formidable et elle n'est vraiment pas chère. Une belle maquette, une foule de documents, de belles photos de tournages...et des textes de premier ordre dus au talent de spécialistes. L'Italien Michelangelo Antonioni "L'investigation", l'Américain Stanley Kubrick "Poète visuel" et le Français François Truffaut "Auteur de film"."
