The film "Le Cinéma selon Hitchcock" chronicles the development of Francois Truffaut's book about Alfred Hitchcock's work, from its conception in 1962 to its publication in 1966. The book became a seminal work in film literature, and Truffaut later expanded it in 1983 with a concluding chapter. The film explores the unlikely friendship between Truffaut and Hitchcock, featuring interviews with their mutual friends and rare documents from Los Angeles and Paris.

The idea of a long conversation with Alfred Hitchcock about his work was first proposed by Francois Truffaut in 1962, with the intention of publishing the discussion in book form, but it took more than four years to come to fruition.
