YES! She is also the Chair of the Undergrad Film Studies here at Columbia University, and still actively teaching. A wonderful woman and her love of film shines in her lectures.

For those who are asking, the excellent translator is the film historian, Annette Insdorf. And, yes, she's good at both translating French to English and back and film history. She's written several books, I believe. We all love Annette.

You're not the only one ! :-D She's REALLY good and REALLY cute !

Priceless ! Thanks for putting this online !

les larmes me viennent en entendant son voix et en voyant son sourire. Tears are coming while I'm listenning to his voice and watching his smile. mErci pour cette vidéo.

Delightful to hear him speak again. It's like he was here today. Truffaut and his films are always entertaining and insightful. . . In the interview Truffaut refers to Roberto Rossellini, of course, not the Robert Rosselli in the title of the video.

awesome translator

Amazing, thanks!

thanks :))

An absolute master

I wish I was alive in the 1959 when the movement began.

I guess that was no act in Close Encounters when Bob Balaban was translating for Truffaut when Richard Dreyfuss was being questioned. Makes sense though, Andrei Tarkovsky barely spoke English and didn’t speak Swedish at all when he directed The Sacrifice.

What year did this take place?

@southgower All the same, he's entitled to it.

It looks. Looks nice. land flimsy

Of course AFI would fuck up Roberto Rossellini's name.

et je repense à Eva

Who is SHE, dammit?

She is Annette INSDORF : François Truffaut's american translator since 70's

Thank you so much for this! A lot of the nouvelle vague is pure shit (Godard!) but Truffaut, Chabrol, Malle are astonishing! (And let's not forget their forgotten forefathers Duvivier and Renoir...) Fuck! Truffaut was a geezer...
