A partial biography of esteemed filmmaker Francois Truffaut. Sadly, terminal illness cut his story short.
Shortly before his death, François Truffaut began sharing the story of his youth with his longtime friend Claude de Givray. He never had time to complete it. FRANÇOIS TRUFFAUT: MY LIFE, A SCREENPLAY reveals part of that final narration, offering an intimate glimpse into the memories, wounds and formative experiences that helped shape one of cinema’s great storytellers.
Rialto Recommends FRANÇOIS TRUFFAUT: MY LIFE, A SCREENPLAY is an intimate and quietly moving portrait of an artist looking back before time runs out. Built around Truffaut’s unfinished final narration, the film opens a rare window onto the childhood memories, private wounds and early experiences that shaped his cinema. A tender, essential watch for anyone who loves the French New Wave and the lives behind great films.
