In the film, Kent Jones used many recorded videos and highlights of the conversation between Alfred Hitchcock and François Truffaut to reproduce the conversation between the two
. But at the same time, Kent Jones did not show the content of the conversation very specifically, because the content of the conversation was published in 1966, and he did not want to make the film a simple historical retelling
. Kent Jones would like to focus on the theme of "Alfred Hitchcock's profound influence on film art", so he interviewed 7 American directors, namely Martin Scorsese, Davey, Finch, Wes Anderson, Richard De Linklater, Peter Bogdanovic, James Gray, Paul Schrader; 2 French directors, Olivier Assayas and Arnold Desprichin , And a Japanese director Kiyoshi Kurosawa, let them talk about Hitchcock’s inspiration and influence on them

Alfred Hitchcock: [Discussing "Psycho"] It was a very interesting construction. I tried, for a long time, to *play* the audience. Let's say we where playing them like an organ.
