A classic interview. Every film fan should watch
An interesting documentry but far from the best films with this topic
Very informative. If you are a movie lover who wants to dig deeper, I recommend it
Great documentary. Insightful, entertaining, and never a dull moment.
This documentary really shows how Hitchcock is a master of his craft.
A decent alternative to one of the most important books on cinema. Like all docs about film history though, it has a bit too much Scorsese.
A good overview of Hitchcock, Truffaut and their conversations
Watch this and read the book if you haven't. You won't need any classes in film aesthetics or theory afterwards
Really interesting if you're interested in the craft. I at least want that book now
See how one interview made a popular movie director into a respected artist. Two directors with completely different styles sit and talk.
