It was conducted in both French and English. Truffaut showed Small Change to Renoir in June (Renoir told us he was вЂњmoved to tearsвЂќ by the film), and our interview took place a few days later. When Truffaut visits Los Angeles, as he has done frequently in the last year, his purpose is threefold: to stock up on Montecristo cigars at DunhillвЂ™s, to read the film books he buys at Larry EdmundsвЂ™ Book Shop, and to visit Jean Renoir. We interviewed Truffaut in his suite at the Beverly Hills Hotel, where he writes in a cloud of cigar smoke, under a photograph of Ernst Lubitsch. He has also been working with Suzanne Schiffman on the screenplay for his next film, The Man Who Loved Women, which he plans to shoot in France this fall (assuming Close Encounters is finished) with Charles Denner in the title role. To help pass the time he has been writing a book, LвЂ™attente des acteurs, roughly translated ActorsвЂ™ Waiting, a title inspired by the title of Ingmar BergmanвЂ™s film WomenвЂ™s Waiting. He admires Spielberg and finds it interesting to study American production methods (one of the reasons he accepted the role), but the long waits between set-ups in Mobile, Alabama have taken their toll on TruffautвЂ™s patience. It is the first time Truffaut has acted for another director since he was an extra in Rene ClementвЂ™s Le chГўteau de verre (1950), and he has mixed feelings about the experience.
