{"product_id":"francois-truffaut-ronald-bergan-9781934110140","title":"Francois Truffaut: Interviews","description":"The French New Wave was one of the most seismic events in cinema's history, and among its contributors Fran輟is Truffaut (1932-1984) was a key figure. Along with Jean-Luc Godard, Eric Rohmer, Claude Chabrol, Jacques Rivette, and others, Truffaut helped to form the New Wave's aesthetics and vision and was the first to conceptualize the auteur theory. He made films that reflected his three professed passions: a love of cinema, an interest in the difficulties of male-female relationships, and a fascination with the problems of children. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e As this collection of interviews progresses, we follow Truffaut's creative evolution almost as much as we follow his alter-ego Antoine Doinel (actor Jean-Pierre L饌ud) through Truffaut's semi-autobiographical series that begins with his first feature \u003ci\u003eThe 400 Blows\u003c\/i\u003e (1959) and ends with \u003ci\u003eLove on the Run\u003c\/i\u003e (1978). \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Truffaut, a perceptive film critic for \u003ci\u003eCahiers du Cin駑a\u003c\/i\u003e before becoming a director, was able to be objective about his own and other people's films. Always concerned with the process as well as the product of his profession, Truffaut maintained his role as critic and commentator throughout his career and remained equally as good an interviewer as an interviewee.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ronald Bergan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1934110140\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781934110140\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Press of Mississippi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 150\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.63lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.92h x 5.98w x 0.52d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eBooklist\u003c\/i\u003e 12\/15\/2007 pg. 15","brand":"Ronald Bergan","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43937546404095,"sku":"9781934110140","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_8afe7940-0a4c-4a06-8bf7-b82f59239425.jpg?v=1681430702","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/francois-truffaut-ronald-bergan-9781934110140","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
