Before turning to filmmaking, Francois Truffaut was a film critic writing for
Cahiers du Cinema
during the 1950s.
The Early film Criticism of Francois Truffaut
makes available, for the first time in English, articles that originally appeared in French journals such as
and
Arts
. Truffaut discusses films by such acknowledged masters as Hitchcock, Huston, Dymytryk, and Lang, but also examines the work of such lesser-known directors as Robert Wise, Don Weis, and Roger Vadim.
