The Films in My LifeTruffaut, Francois
Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
Based upon unprecedented access to Franois Truffaut's papers and notes toward an unwritten autobiography, the authors provide the definitive story of this beloved director.
"Where TRUFFAUT is more successful is in providing a nuanced portrait of the director, a portrait that draws heavily upon Truffaut's own correspondence, particularly his revealing letters to his friend and translator Helen Scott. The man who emerges from this book is a melancholy man, awkward yet seductive, generous but judgmental, a man who seemed incapable of being faithful to a single woman but who simultaneously depended upon the bourgeois stability of his marriage, a man who once wrote that his 'critical attitude' prevented him 'from falling in love.'"
Michiko Kakutani, New York Times, 4/20/1999
Review:"Both a critical and affectionate tribute, TRUFFAUT reminds us of a vision of a unique artist whose profound understanding of human frailty and divinity, humor and tragedy, remains in the body of his exceptional films."
Victoria Amador, Bloomsbury Review, Nov/Dec 1999
