I love Truffaut's work. It is all one work, really. I like
that in a writer or filmmaker. People rarely have more than
one thing to write from the gut, even if they write it in
pieces, or while purportedly telling other people's stories.
Given that I see Truffaut's work as a continuum, I have to
judge it great, just like Allen's or Bergman's work. A total
auteur.
