film of Francois Truffaut. Autobiography gives us the opportunity to hear the thoughts of the director - The man who created the films, which gave impetus to a new direction not only of cinema, but the whole of modern culture.
Francois Truffaut admitted: "I can not work with material that is far from me. I need to identify ourselves with the fact that I read, noting that I was or could be in the same situation. Without it, I just can not work. I can not say for sure, but offhand, my films autobiographical percent at twenty. Twenty percent comes from newspapers, twenty - the life of my friends, and twenty more - pure fiction. Thus, pure fiction is not much space. I like to compare a movie to life. " But life is so varied ... What exactly are interested in a director? - "I only care about human relationships. Sometimes I make films about children, then I am interested in for children and parents. And I usually make films about relationships, men and women. "

really that simple? How does reputation as a pioneer, the creator new cinematic trends, a new cinematic language? And this question Truffaut gives his answer: "His movies I was never going to make a revolution in a movie or look for a new language, unlike the language of its predecessors. I always thought that the movie - it's great, but it often lacks sincerity and we must do the same thing, only better "- said Francois Truffaut.
The film about the director remembered by those who knew him, admired and truly appreciated. First all his colleagues, for example, Steven Spielberg, Truffaut had invited for the role of a scientist, an expert on UFOs in his movie "Close Encounters of the third degree: "In Truffaut felt some kind of wonderful innocence and purity. In his films, in my opinion, there is almost childlike sensibility, acuteness of perception. " Director Woody Allen: "The originality and freshness of the paintings by Francois Truffaut was that they carried a stamp of his personality. We have not seen before in U.S. films with strong strong personality. Only commercial cinema, designed for the general public. His tapes different audience, albeit a small but very faithful. " Remember the great film director and actress, who starred with him, in particular, Natalie Bai: "I am always surprised and embarrassed that he is not afraid to get done what he wanted. His relationship with me, it seemed painful. "

Why is it such a hurry? At this myself Francois Truffaut says: "Life is temporary by definition. She is always moving toward completion. Its first half - the rise and then begin the destruction. When making films about human feelings, to speak about the pain and loss. On the contradiction between our desire for eternity and the reality in which all the passing. "
