It seems that this documentary chose to focus on already well-known aspects of François Truffaut’s life and career, despite the addition of previously unreleased halted memoirs. One might wonder if Truffaut himself was reserved in his statements or if the family preferred to maintain a certain control over his public image by trimming more personal or controversial parts. Even though this film doesn’t offer any major revelations, it succeeds in bringing Truffaut back into the spotlight, helping to keep his legacy alive for the general public on the 40th anniversary of his death.
