François Truffaut

I have loved the films of Truffaut since I was very young and I hope I will still love them when I am very old. Truffaut is also one of those filmmakers where I am not content with just the films. I need more. I think I have more books about, or by, Truffaut than any other filmmaker. His is a cinema of people who love too much, and Truffaut himself might have been a man who loved cinema too much. If such a thing is possible. It would have been his 80th birthday today, had he still been alive, so I will celebrate him with some clips. Now watch, and listen to the music of Georges Delerue. Le cinema règne.
