Based on the seminal book detailing an extended interview of Alfred Hitchcock and François Truffaut in the mid-60's, the film adds clips from films by each directors and commentary from directors such as David Fincher, Martin Scorsese, Wes Anderson, Peter Bogdanovich and others to reflect on Hitchcock's style, methods and innovations and his impact on their own work.
It's an engaging look at two artists with very different styles and admiration for each others' work, serving as an effective lure for the book of the interview.
A significant part of the film is focussed on "Vertigo", timely given the special screening of that film at the end of this year's TIFF, with a live performance of the soundtrack by the TSO.
