Annette Insdorf is the name of the film historian interpreting Truffault's words. Born in Paris to Polish parents she moved to the USA at a young age.

@@pierrebrv5201 Thank you for this. I was just thinking to myself that her translation is very good and I began to wonder who she was and sorry to see she wasn't credited in the description.

Truffaut was a master director on every level, not just the master of the new wave, but one of the greatest directors film has ever known. It's an insult to Truffaut to lump him in with the new wave, when his films transcend that on every level.

[@egosheep]

@DavidF89999 Mouchette is one of my wife's favorites. I still say I wouldn't describe Truffaut as a new wave director, because it's like pigeonholing him. He's just a great artist, one of the greatest directors of all time, and definitely my personal favorite.

This is great ! I never saw it before. The interpreter is really good (and cute, too !) :-)

[@bruno5457]

Indémodable!

[@photonotavailable7936]

When and where did the seminar take place? Who is the interpreter?

[@TheAxellle]

wild cinema acteurs a bleu ...! tout frais compris ...!!

[@jondstewart]

I remember in Close Encounters he used an interpreter because he only spoke passable English, not completely fluent. Looks like that was the case in real life as well.

I dont know who the better filmmaker is but as far as the Nouvelle vague is concerned Godard is the master, his work represents the movement much better than Truffaut imo.

[@TheGeraldemerald]

@Ibroadcastmyself17 The opposite applies... Godard is shit! No, he really is... Truffaut, Chabrol, Malle are wonderful, the balance between deep thought and watchability but Godard est un con (in English as well as French...) Gimme Renoir and Duvivier (les (so called) papas du cinema) over that naked emperor any time...

The New Wave Hack, you mean? Thou art forgiven for thy ignorance, of course, to paraphrase the late Franzre van Duuertz. I recommend remedial classes in film criticism for all parties involved, excluding myself. Good Day.
