Synopsis
In 1962 Hitchcock and Truffaut locked themselves away in
Hollywood for a week to excavate the secrets behind the
mise-en-scène in cinema. Based on the original recordings of this
meeting-used to produce the mythical book Hitchcock/Truffaut-this
film illustrates the greatest cinema lesson of all time and
plummets us into the world of the creator of Psycho, The Birds, and
Vertigo. Hitchcock's incredibly modern art is elucidated and
explained by today's leading filmmakers: Martin Scorsese, David
Fincher, Arnaud Desplechin, Kiyoshi Kurosawa, Wes Anderson, James
Gray, Olivier Assayas, Richard Linklater, Peter Bogdanovich and
Paul Schrader
