{"product_id":"truffaut-at-work","title":"Truffaut At Work","description":"\u003cp\u003eFranois Truffaut (1932-1984)  French motion-picture director and critic  is a leader of the nouvelle vague movement of film-makers who rejected the slick  impersonal style of studio filmmaking for a more personal approach  in which the director has sole creative authority and is recognized as the author of a film.  Truffaut was born in Paris. After a troubled childhood  he left school at the age of 14. Through his passion for film  he met Andr Bazin  Founder and Co-editor of the influential journal Cahiers du Cinma  for which Truffaut began writing. Throughout his filmmaking career  which began in the late 1950s  Truffaut wrote or co-authored - as well as directing - all of his feature films  which combine comedy  pathos  suspense and melodrama. He was strongly influenced by French film-makers Jean Vigo and Jean Renoir and by English-American director Alfred Hitchcock.  In Truffaut at Work  film expert Carole Le Berre looks beyond the usual anecdotal sources about Truffaut to reveal an inspired and inspiring portrait of one of the most influential directors of the twentieth century. She draws heavily from Truffauts personal papers and the archives of the film studios he worked for: the book details shooting schedules  budgets  memos  letters  storyboards and transcripts of discussions with key collaborators. The result is a major reassessment of the working methods of this groundbreaking director.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44964039065653,"sku":"ByrdShop_071484568X","price":64.62,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780714845685.jpg?v=1770446372","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/truffaut-at-work","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
