	François Truffaut - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		François Roland Truffaut (born in Paris, on February 6, 1932; died in Neuilly-sur-Seine on October 21, 1984) was one of the founders of the French "New Wave" in filmmaking, and remains an icon of the French film industry.
		Truffaut was born out of wedlock in 1930s Paris, where he was raised by his mother and his adopted father, Roland Truffaut, both of whom were devout Catholics.
		Truffaut came to filmmaking only after an early career as one of the most outspoken film critics in France, writing for Bazin's les Cahiers du cinéma (he became an editor of the review in 1953).

	Francois Truffaut
		Antoine's vacuous, neglected life unfolds before us with dispassionate objectivity: a misunderstood, underachieving student invariably caught red-handed with the pinup centerfold or scribbling on the classroom wall; a selfish, adulterous mother attempting to reach her son through bribery; a crude, distant father flaunting his generosity in giving the illegitimate son a name.
		Julien Davenne (François Truffaut) is a lonely, disillusioned widower who writes for The Globe, an obsolete, nearly defunct newspaper (with a target audience of elderly people, its subscription base is literally dying).
		François Truffaut uses a color palette that is washed and pale to set the thematic tone of the film (similar techniques are used in Andrei Tarkovsky's The Sacrifice).

	MSN Encarta - Francois Truffaut
		Truffaut, François (1932-1984), French motion-picture director and critic, a leader of the nouvelle vague (new wave) movement of filmmakers who rejected the slick, impersonal style of studio filmmaking for a more personal approach, in which the director has sole creative authority and is recognized as the author (auteur) of a film.
		Truffaut was strongly influenced by French filmmakers Jean Vigo and Jean Renoir and by English-American director Alfred Hitchcock.
		Several of Truffaut's films are considered to be either influenced by Hitchcock or homages to him—notably The Bride Wore Black (1968), Mississippi Mermaid (1969), and Truffaut's last motion picture, Confidentially Yours (1983).

	MetroActive Movies \| Francois Truffaut
		Truffaut was still in his 20s when he formulated the auteur theory, the idea that a director is the "author" of his films (an idea that is somewhat taken for granted--even taken to excess--today).
		At the time, we learn in Truffaut, his attack on the cynicism of the French film industry was seen by some as right wing, and, indeed, Truffaut began his career as a conservative, largely in response to the dogmatically Communist cultural establishment.
		Truffaut was 28 when he demonstrated his conception of a new cinema with the groundbreaking The 400 Blows, based on Truffaut's own bitter adolescence as a neglected, somewhat hapless juvenile delinquent.

	The religion of Francois Truffaut, film director
		Truffaut claimed that he got married only at a town hall (with no larger ceremony, religious or otherwise) because his bride was from a family of Hungarian Jews, and his own family was Catholic.
		In his late teens, Truffaut was so obsessive about watching films that he ended up jailed for many months after stealing property from his place of work to sell to raise money to pay for film screenings, and for failing to pay back money for film rentals and ads he placed to promote screenings.
		For Helen Scott, of course, was in love with Truffaut, while he saw her as a caring "Jewish mother," with a marvelous sense of humor, but not at all as a mistress.

	Film Forum's François Truffaut retrospective
		Truffaut's films, unlike, say, Godard's or Chabrol's or Louis Malle's, are often revived in what remains of the art-house circuit.
		Truffaut plays the physician Jean Itard, who takes in and attempts to educate Victor, as he is named by Itard, a feral child of perhaps 10 or 11 found alone in the wilds of Aveyron in 1798.
		Truffaut has such an animistic feeling for nature that the child's wildness becomes his genius, his essence -- and yet it must be sacrificed to the civilizing world if the boy is to survive.

	Truffaut, Mon Ami
		Truffaut was a 27-year-old film critic when he knocked the world on its ear in 1959 with The 400 Blows — still one of the most galvanizing debuts in movie history.
		Beginning with his hatred of his mother, Truffaut’s tortured relationship with women is a story unto itself, one which Moreau views with ambiguity tempered by love.
		It was in Moreau that Truffaut found the fullest embodiment of his ambivalent attraction-repulsion to strong and independent women.

		Truffaut was also a great humanist, who supported many worthy causes for children, and this humanity is also an essential element of his films.

	Journal of Popular Film and Television: Francois Truffaut - Review
		Francois Truffant, by Diana Holmes and Robert Ingram, is a welcome addition to existing literature, engaging thoughtfully with one of the more complex and controversial French directors of the postwar period.
		The difficult question of auteurism and Truffaut's status as auteur is next addressed by examining the tension in his work between genre, Hollywood, and popular cinema on the one hand and the personal vision of the director, French culture, and art-house cinema on the other.
		Instead, in what seems a veiled critique of Godard, Truffaut is to be valued for successfully "straddling the frontier between 'art-house' and popular cinema," and for his nonintellectural interest in universal themes of empathy, compassion, the individual, and love.

	Guardian Unlimited Film \| Features \| François Truffaut: Jules et Jim
		One of the most remarkable things about François Truffaut's Jules et Jim, now regarded as the audacious apotheosis of the French New Wave, is that it was adapted from a novel written by a 75-year-old writer, Henri Pierre Roché.
		Truffaut adapted it with an exceptional panache and flair that was often not present in his later films, despite their other virtues.
		It wasn't characteristic of the two earlier films of Truffaut himself, and certainly not of Godard and Chabrol's first efforts, but it was at least as daring and definitely richer and more mature.

	François Truffaut: Audacious Charmer
		EW YORK -- When François Truffaut was sent to a juvenile detention center at the request of his parents in 1948, his first letter home requested the essentials: jam, and his files on Charlie Chaplin and Orson Welles.
		By the time his stay at the Observation Center for Minors was immortalized on film, fictionalized 11 years later at the end of "The 400 Blows," he had acquired an encyclopedic film education (after making three earlier short films) and weathered enough turmoil and amour to tell stories laced with precocious wisdom.

		Cast as Truffaut alter-ego Antoine Doinel was young Jean-Pierre Leaud, who went on to play Doinel at various later stages of his life in Truffaut's four follow-ups to 400 Blows.
		In 1961, Truffaut directed what many consider his masterpiece, and what not a few observers regard as the finest film of its year: Jules et Jim, a hauntingly beautiful tale of a lingering romantic triangle.
		In developing a style of his own, Truffaut was heavily influenced by his idols Jean Vigo, Jacques Tati, and especially Renoir, whom Truffaut admired for his ability to simultaneously depict the realities of life and "improve" upon them.

		Truffaut was notorious for bedding beautiful women, usually actresses in his films, but every relationship (with the exception of that with his divorced wife, Madeleine, who was as loyal as he was faithless) was brief.
		Truffauts courage failed him; rather than introduce himself, he fled to the darkness of a nearby cinema and watched an old Chaplin film.
		Truffaut's childhood is exposed as sadder, but possibly less harsh than his image (and The 400 Blows) suggest.

	Truffaut's The 400 Blows
		From the moment Truffaut's The 400 Blows (Les Quatre Cents Coups, 1959) is previewed out of competition along with Rossellini's India (1958) and Resnais's Hiroshima, mon amour (1959) on May 4th 1959 at Cannes, Truffaut is triumphant as one of the leading archetypal luminaries of the French New Wave Cinema.
		The charm and poignancy of Truffaut's films belie their complex cinephilic formation in the '50s when Truffaut was a rebellious school truant film buff stealing away to the darkened anonymity of a movie theatre with its strong clandestine seductive appeal.
		Truffaut's life and cinema sum up the intricate complexities of a seminal European auteur whose films form a trajectory from a rebellious boy to a mature literary-inflected filmmaker whose existential vision of creativity, human emotions and social reality encapsulates a highly sympathetic and passionate belief in the utopian possibilities of love and understanding.
