In 1962, Francois Truffaut persuaded Alfred Hitchcock to sit with him for a week long interview in which the great British auteur would share with his young admirer the secrets of his cinema. Based on the original recordings of this meeting—used to produce the seminal book *Hitchcock/Truffaut*—this film illustrates the greatest cinema lesson of all time and plunges us into the world of the creator of *Psycho*, *The Birds* and *Vertigo*. Hitchcock’s singular vision is elucidated and brought vividly to life by today’s leading filmmakers: Martin Scorsese, David Fincher, Kiyoshi Kurosawa, Wes Anderson, and Richard Linklater. Nominated for a Golden Eye at the **Cannes Film Festival**. *"Despite its historical subject, HITCHCOCK/TRUFFAUT adeptly proves the timelessness of cinema."* - Tina Hassannia, ***RogerEbert.com***
