Abstract

This project, written in French, is an exploration of the relationship between the personal ideology of French film director François Truffaut and his films. In examining such things as camera movements, camera angles, music, staging, and dialogue, the Scholar discovered how Truffaut’s ideas of childhood were displayed in his films. The life and work of Truffaut serves as a great example of how a director’s worldview is inevitably reflected in their films.
