Abstract
This paper analyses the thematic and iconographic parallels between François Truffaut’s Mississippi Mermaid (La sirène du Mississippi) and two fi lms by Alfred Hitchcock: Vertigo (1958) and Marnie (1964). The connoisseurial ambience that characterised the new cinema of the 1960s, and which was particularly evident in the French Nouvelle Vague, produced examples of metacinema and fi lmic intertextuality of the stature of Truffaut’s 1969 masterpiece.
