Most importantly, Alistair Fox's meticulous and lively translation is nothing short of amazing. Everyone working seriously on Truffaut and his legacy must refer to and engage with Gillain's arguments, so it is wonderful finally to see her book available in English, and especially in such a fine a translation. --Richard Neupert, author of A History of the French New Wave Cinema--Richard Neupert author of A History of the French New Wave Cinema Truffaut fans will love this English translation of Gillain's work drawing on the psychology and cinematography of the acclaimed filmmaker. -Booklist Long a major work within French film and the cinema of Francois Truffaut, Anne Gillain's volume provides an important perspective on Truffaut and his films that is still quite relevant for historians and theorists today.

Her chapters ingeniously pair films to expose the secret that informs them all. We peer through these chapters as through a series of stereoscopic slides and find 'la Planete Truffaut' lying before us in vivid 3-D. -Dudley Andrew, R. Seldon Rose Professor of Film and Comparative Literature, Yale University Gillain's preface is succinct, lucid and illuminating. -Spectator In her brilliant book, Francois Truffaut: The Lost Secret... Gillain serves us with a delicious reexamination of someone's work that will make us want to sit down and take in all of Truffaut's wonderful filmography at once. -PopMatters - In addition to its trenchant anatomizing of Truffaut, this work is an excellent examination of the process of creation... Highly recommended. -Choice <p> You'll find no better critical study of Truffaut than this one by Anne Gillain. Her chapters ingeniously pair films to expose the secret that informs them all.
