I think most people think that Godard is more interesting because he is more a formalist but Truffaut has made very intense, beautiful films and amazing screenplays ("The Woman next door", "Adèle H" etc.). The idea of love in his films is higher than in any other films.

I think i might enjoy hearing him talk about films more than I actually enjoy watching his films.

Day for Night... Est ce que les femmes sont magiques? Mais non, les femmes i sont magiques... and this movie certainly is! L'enfant sauvage: another beauty... Les 400 coups... antoine et colette....

*The 400 Blows*, *Shoot the Piano Player*, and *Jules and Jim* are some of the most emotionally involving and stirring films I have seen. Not to mention they ooze pure cinema.

I don't think he actually co-wrote Breathless, I'm pretty sure he put his name on the credits to increase the likelihood of it getting made, though I think he did give him the basic story premise.

I have nearly finished reading "Letters" - the insightful book comprised of letters written by the great man over four decades to friends, collaborators and anyone who had the fortune to correspond with the man. I urge everyone to read this book. It has inspired me beyond words...

He wrote the original treatment and story outline for breathless, though Godard changed it a great deal

I generally dislike Truffaut, finding his films to be overly polite and dull, but I absolutely adore Small Change / Pocket Money. It is one of the warmest and truest films I've seen on childhood, and I hope it is added to the site soon.

The best director of the French new wave. Constantly overshadowed by Goddard, but substance and real timeless cinematic style are far more important and influential than some of Godards revered trickery.
