Hitchcock-Truffaut Episode 1: Youth, Influences, First jobs

[@cuatro4four4]

Merci beaucoup d'avoir mis ces interviews en ligne. Je me régale !!!

[@frenchmoviegoer1535]

Would some people be interested in Hitchcock movies on this channel if I can find them in high enough quality? Thinking of films in public domain (basically british era) like 'The Lodger', 'Blackmail' & 'The 39 Steps" as a starting point. Don't hesitate to give any feedback on that and enjoy the content

[@louiso.4325]

In high quality? Definitely. That way, we can watch the movies that he discusses in the interviews!

[@frenchmoviegoer1535]

I'm releasing the last episode this coming weekend and after that releasing either "The Lodger" or "The 39 Steps" since I both found them in 1080p, it's good enough for me but it's not today's HQ

[@daviddenis8105]

Wow, thanks so much for uploading this !! I've had the book for 30 years and whenever I watch a Hitch again I grab the book and read what he and Francois said about the film. I just went through all of Hitch's films again, would be great if you could upload Murder ! , it's hard to find and not on youtube. The Ring is also a very good film, second best of his silent. Thanks again ;) Cheers.

[@frenchmoviegoer1535]

Hey, just watched "The Ring" based on your advice, it was a very good surprise, even though from the same year rigth after "The Lodger" it seems so far away in terms of directing, thx !

[@PrimoMagazine]

I would love it.

Im a Brazilian fan, I have the book, Its fantastic this interviews. Thank you very much for sharing this áudios!

[@pegbars]

The lady doing the translating did an outstanding job! Although, I wish they had recorded her on a separate track because she steps on much that Hitch was saying.

[@Setebos]

When Truffaut and Hitchcock agreed to do the book they searched for a translator who was familiar with movie terms.

[@virgola2126]

@@Setebos She was a friend of Truffaut and he already knew she would be the interpreter even before he contacted Hitchcock (Translators only translates writings). He said in a French interview that he would not have considered doing this interview with another interpreter. When he contacted Hitchcock to do this interview he explained that the interpreter was so fast and so good, he would not have any impact on the rhythm of the interview nor the moods. Helen Scott worked as a Director of Public Relation at the French Film Office in New York. She collaborated with Truffaut in writing the book after the interviews and also helped him with dialogues for "Fahrenheit 451" and translations of other books. They were very close friends and there is an extensive collection of letters they have written to one another.

[@Setebos]

@@virgola2126 Would you happen to know if the letters were published?

[@virgola2126]

I am now reading F. Truffaut correspondance, amongst them letters to Scott. Anyone that love cinema and Truffaut should read those. Spectacular reading, great insight in his life and his profession. He was a genius!

[@ericmilliet2022]

@@Setebos As a translator myself I can totally understand.

thank you. this is a treasure.

amazing translation

[@danielrae861]

This is such a wonderful gift. Thank you

[@cmorris9903]

yes -many thanks for adding this ! He was THE master. and dont forget- Hitch ( love his line- "you can call me Hitch without the cxck") had no films from which to draw experience on -a pioneer and a master ! And sometimes a master of dry humor -not sure if it's true, but they say he hosted a party with all the "celebs" back when and stood outside the door dressed in police uniform greeting his guests !..."It's only a movie, Martin . "( answering a nervous Martin Landau).

[@pablopaul8539]

Thanks for posting this. This is legendary interview. Fascinating.

[@BelatedCommiseration]

Oui! Merci Beaucoups pour donne le grande honneur de la entrietrien Hitchcock/Trauffaut gratuit du la monde! (Pardonnner moi, mais je suis Anglais, alors, tout mon essai' dans autre langues c'est tres regrettable!) I just thought I would do you some sort of an honour in (an attempt at) your own language for being 'tres genereux' with your uploading time for my benefit :) Hitchcock is possibly the greatest filmmaker ever, how he never got an academy award for best picture or director is a scandal.

[@frenchmoviegoer1535]

Have to agree with Hitch being the greatest filmmaker ever, however not my personal favorite but objectively the best ! Thanks for your comment, your french is not that bad ;)

[@AngloCatalanProf]

Thank you, thank you, thank you for uploading this material.

[@frenchmoviegoer1535]

You're very welcome, it felt wrong not having those on youtube, glad it can be of interest for a few people

[@macarona3467]

Merci INFINIMENT d'avoir posté toutes ces vidéos !

[@macdrummer007]

Is this the complete series of these fascinating interviews? They are superb, and so enlightening. Thanks for posting.

[@PrimoMagazine]

Hitchcock was the ultimate self-promoter. He inherited this attribute from his father, a grocer. Always selling, always promoting, always moving inventory. Instead of canned goods, it was canned reels of film.

[@echopathy]

thank you for sharing

A Leytonstone lad Hitchcock - I’m just up the road in Leyton 😊👍

[@kanealson5200]

Thanks for these

[@virgola2126]

While studying cinema when I was younger, this was my bible. As it must be for the majority of people studying cinema around the world.

[@Setebos]

It's in my movie book collection as well. My only wish is that Truffaut had delayed just a bit so that we could've had commentary on "The Birds" as well.

[@virgola2126]

​@@Setebos Yes. That would have been fantastic!

[@virgola2126]

@@Setebos I am now reading Truffaut compilation of correspondence from late 1940s to his death! And writing to Scott about the book (which he wrote with her), he lamented that they had to conclude the writing, all he wanted was to up to date the interviews and the book every year with Hitchcok as well and keep it all for himself! I truly advise to read his correspondance, especially if you love movies. This is a great insight in his life, but also in his profession. BTW, Hitchcock had a real respect for Truffaut, which was not an easy thing for Alfred.

[@officegossip]

I bought this off a recommendation from a Manga theory and practice book from Hirohiko Araki. He considers it one of his comic book making bibles.

[@malachipeglow6462]

You are a star for uploading this. Valuable insight and incredibly concise interpretation. I now know what to listen to at work on my lunch break.

[@macarona3467]

Thank you so much for posting all these videos ! Of course, I've subscribed to your great channel. : )

[@frenchmoviegoer1535]

Update on uploading movies on KZbin: I tried to share "The RIng" today but the video was blocked immediatly because of StudioCanal rights. Ther also have the rights for "Blackmail", "Murder!", "The Skin Game", "Foreign Correspondant" and some other lesser known movies. That explain why most of those are not at all on KZbin. I'll try to share them anyways but I expect the same blocking.

[@irenalee3229]

"The Skin Game", I m downloading rightnow from internet archive

[@Yuyu-es9jg]

Hi, you're amazing for uploading this and I seriously cannot thank you enough! I'd just like to ask, does this series/playlist cover the entire book?

[@frenchmoviegoer1535]

You're welcome, the 25 episodes cover the entire book, but there were a lot of "off the record" interviews going on, to discuss more personal or darker/deeper subjects, so the book is more complete in a way, but also less raw if that makes sense

[@Yuyu-es9jg]

Oh, alright. Thank you so much!

[@casrifay]

The simultaneous translation although excellent et très professionelle could let the interviewed finish his ideias first instead of translating separately every single sentence

[@julietacuenca9519]

Subtitles english, please, please.

[@ujjwalfared]

[@kanealson5200]

The interpreter has a difficult job in between the two to create a flow and rhythm. Not easy to do and she doesn't always get it right but still not bad. People who get along well can present ideas and communicate to each other in a particular way. It seems they both have a lot to say. Maybe a musician would have been perfect. Stitching together a sing-song, call and response.

who on earth reads this fast...

[@gurpreetbajwa4490]

Even though everyone in tbis interview has passed away. The interviewer and Translator need to chill. It takes a Hitchcock a while to articulate what he wants to say and all the talking over eachother is frustrating

[@robertward8130]

What's the "Griffith" sign all about?? Annoying.
