Kent Jones‘ new documentary Hitchcock/Truffaut premiered at the Cannes Film Festival and sounds like it’s a film for the ages, serving more-or-less as a movie for those of us (yes, I shamefully include myself in this) that haven’t yet read “Hitchcock“, the book that transcribes the famous 1962 sit down interview between Alfred Hitchcock and Francois Truffaut. In fact, if you don’t want to read it you can even listen to the entire interview session in its entirety right here or you can sit and wait until the Cohen Media Group releases the new documentary in theaters later this year.
[amz asin=”0671604295″ size=”small”]Featuring interviews with the likes of Martin Scorsese, David Fincher, Arnaud Desplechin (who just won during the Cannes Directors’ Fortnight), Kiyoshi Kurosawa, Wes Anderson, James Gray, Olivier Assayas, Richard Linklater, Peter Bogdanovich and Paul Schrader, this film sets out to take us into the world of the creator of Psycho, The Birds and Vertigo.
Today I have a clip from the film featuring Scorsese discussing Psycho, specifically how Hitchcock chose to shoot Janet Leigh during the driving sequences. Give it a watch below and check out a couple other pictures and the film’s poster.
