'Totally Truffaut' addresses two central issues in Franȯis Truffaut's cinema. First, it follows the coded inscription of some major life events in his films, from his illegitimate birth to his passionate but doomed relationship with Catherine Deneuve. Second, it accounts for his lasting worldwide success and dispels several clichés on his work, for instance the superiority of his earlier films and his subsequent decline as a major director.
