Nick - The problem with documentaries focused on directors is by the end, the director of the documentary will have convinced me that their subject is the best director that ever existed. There's no doubt that Alfred Hitchcock is a genius in film making, a genius in building suspense and genuine horror. This documentary helps solidify that. Although the title is "Hitchcock/Truffaut" this movie focuses mostly on the works and styles of Hitchcock. It touches on his techniques and unprecedented style of writing with a camera. With interesting input and deconstruction of Hitchcocks work discussed from directors such as Richard Linklater, Wes Anderson and Martin Scorsese, this documentary is a must watch for any film makers or film advocates who appreciate the art. 8/10
