Reception

Stanley Kauffmann at The New Republic wrote 'In human and in film-historical terms, this Toubiana-Pascal documentary is a treasure. It ought to be shown wherever there's a Truffaut audience, and it ought to be made available on tape.'[2] Todd McCarthy of the Variety Magazine said that:

Film critics Serge Toubiana and Michel Pascal have made a revealing but far from definitive docu study of the life and career of the late French director Francois Truffaut. Interviews with an impressive lineup of friends, associates and family members peel away layers of the onion to unveil aspects of the subject's personality that were largely undiscussed during his lifetime.[3]
