His most celebrated films include The 400 Blows, Shoot the Piano Player, Jules and Jim, Day for Night and The Last Metro. A Truffaut Notebook is a lively and eclectic introduction to the life and work of this major cinematic figure. In entries as brief as a page, as well as in full length essays, it examines topics such as Truffaut's mentors, the autobiographical nature of his films, his place in the film tradition, his film criticism, his reputation, his relationships with other directors, and the formal and thematic coherence of his body of work. Sam Solecki also argues for Truffaut's continuing wide appeal and relevance by examining his influence on filmmakers like Woody Allen, Noah Baumbach, Alexander Payne, Patrice Leconte, and Jean- Pierre Jeunet, and on writers such as Julian Barnes, Ann Beattie, and Salman Rushdie. Because the book returns regularly to the author's shifting responses to Truffaut's work over the last fifty years, it also offers an autobiographical meditation on his own lifelong fascination with film. Consisting of over eighty short entries and essays, as well as provocative lists, dreams, and quizzes, A Truffaut Notebook is an original and exciting text and a model of passionate engagement with cinema."--|cProvided by publisher. 530 Issued also in electronic format. 600 10 Truffaut, François|xCriticism and interpretation. 600 17 Truffaut, François.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst00052344 650 0 Motion picture producers and directors|zFrance|vBiography. 650 7 Motion picture producers and directors.|2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01027225 651 7 France.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01204289 655 7 Biography.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01423686 655 7 Criticism, interpretation, etc.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01411635 776 1 Solecki, Sam, 1946-|tTruffaut notebook. |w(CaOONL)20159040248 954 20171020|bMarcive Authority Bib 956 20171013|btsmt|cMT 956 20160224 |bpfmcq|cCC 957 OCLC xref loaded 20171029 994 C0|bCUY
