- The Last Metro
François Roland Truffaut (6 February 1932 – 21 October 1984) was an influential film critic and filmmaker and one of the founders of the French New Wave. In a film career lasting over a quarter of a century, he remains an icon of the French film industry. He was also a screenwriter, producer, and actor working on over twenty-five films.
- Les Quatre Cents Coups (1959) Intended to be an anthology vignette set during the occupation, the shoestring feature that ignited the nouvelle vague is rooted heavily in Truffaut’s own experiences.
- Shoot the Piano Player (1960) Lacing David Goodis’s hardboiled novel Down There with the frantic zaniness of the Marx Brothers and Raymond Queneau, Truffaut’s sophomore outing was a gleeful grab bag of tropes, tones and techniques that came closest to translating his critical theories into cinematic practice.
- Jules et Jim (1962) Accompanied by the exquisite melodies of Georges Delerue, this timeless adaptation of Henri-Pierre Roche’s novel surprisingly suggested the compatibility of the nouvelle vague and the ‘tradition of quality’ that Truffaut had railed against in his 1954 Cahiers essay, ‘A Certain Tendency in French Cinema’.
- La Peau douce (1964) A delay in shooting his sole English-language venture, Fahrenheit 451 (1966), afforded the opportunity to make this adulterous saga, which reveals the influence of Alfred Hitchcock, with whom Truffaut had just conducted a book-length interview.
