TRUFFAUT, François.

French director of New Wave films. Unsigned A.N., regarding a low-budget American film called Fingers, written for publication in a brochure of the American Film Institute. 1 page, on lined notebook paper, with an uneven lower edge.9" x 6". N.p., ca. 1979.

1932-1984 Unbound "'All that is unbelievable remains decorative,' said Jean Cocteau. Each sequence of 'Fingers' is marked by a deliberate and elegant crudeness. "Fingers" is one of those low-budget American films placing a lot of stock in bizarre sexual practices and violence, but what makes it superior to productions of the same genre is that it truly has a style, at once precise and precious. The dryness of the treatment is only too apparent; the sentiments are neither shown nor expressed but we divine them. The camera of J.T. is rigorous. The actors, Hervé Weitel and Tisa Farrow, are admirable. " (With English translation.) Together with a letter from the American Film Institute attesting to the note's authenticity.
