Available in English for the first time, Anne Gillain's François Truffaut: The Lost Secret is considered by many to be the best book on the interpretation of Truffaut's films. Taking a psycho-biographical approach, Gillain shows how Truffaut's creative impulse was anchored in his personal experience of a traumatic childhood that left him lonely and emotionally deprived. In a series of brilliant, nuanced readings of each of his films, she demonstrates how involuntary memories arising from Truffaut's childhood not only furnish a succession of motifs that are repeated from film to film, but also govern every aspect of his mise en scène and cinematic technique. 600 10 Truffaut, François|xCriticism and interpretation. 600 17 Truffaut, François,|d1932-1984.|2gnd 650 7 Film.|2gnd 700 1 Fox, Alistair,|etranslator. 935 .o16788400 954 20180112|bMarcive Authority Bib 956 20140620|bPRVY 956 20180110|bpfmcq|cMC 957 OCLC xref loaded 20180121 994 92|bCUY
