Today is Francois Truffaut’s birthday

The great French writer-director Francois Truffaut was born on February 6, 1932. He died far too young in 1984. His screenwriting credits include Les quatre cents coups (The 400 Blows — 1959), À bout de souffle (Breathless — 1960), Tirez sur le pianiste (Shoot the Piano Player — 1960), Jules et Jim (Jules and Jim — 1962), L’enfant sauvage (The Wild Child — 1970), La nuit américaine (Day for Night — 1973), and Le dernier métro (The Last Metro — 1980).

I’ve featured Truffaut before having surfaced numerous video clips with interviews and biographical retrospectives, so to remember this most influential filmmaker, check out this link.

And this, the last known public interview with Truffaut in 1984:
