François Truffaut dedicated his life to film – twenty-one feature films by an ultimate cinephile obsessed with cinema. He was 52 when he abruptly reached the terminus of his life. A few months before, the acclaimed director had embarked on a journey with his old confidant Claude de Givray, exploring the depths of his familial past, childhood, adolescence, and painful memories. But time was not on his side, and he did not live to complete his envisioned autobiography, ’The Screenplay of My Life.’ Co-written by Serge Toubiana based on Truffaut’s letters and unpublished writings, David Teboul’s documentary unveils fragments of this untold intimate tale for the first time, enriched with a treasure trove of previously unseen correspondence and archival materials, shedding light on the life of one of the most beloved figures of the French New Wave.
