Laurence Alfonsi wrote a PhD thesis (I believe) in Marseilles, France a couple of years ago on "The Reception of Francois Truffaut Abroad". He focused mainly on the reception in America, but there might be something in it helpful to you; Truffaut was an assiduous marketer of his films, traveling abroad frequently and often corresponding with critics and reviewers around the world.
