Auteuror auteur theory
Literally the french word for author, in film criticism, used in the terms auteurism or auteur theory, denoting a critical theory (originally known as la politique des auteurs or the policy of authors) popular in france in the late 1940s and early 1950s that was introduced by francois truffaut and the editors (including legendary film critic and theorist andre bazin) of the celebrated french film journal cahiers du cinéma (literally 'cinema notebooks'), arguably the most influential film magazine in film history, their ideas were subsequently enlarged upon in the 1960s by american critic andrew sarris, among others, the theory ascribed overall responsibility for the creation of a film and its personal vision, identifiable style, thematic aspects and techniques to its film- maker or director, rather than to the collaborative efforts of all involved (actors, producer, production designer, special effects supervisor, etc), the theory posited that directors should be considered the 'true' authors of film (rather than the screenwriters) because they exercise a great deal of control over all facets of film making and impart a distinctive, personal style to their films, simply stated, an auteur can refer to a director with a recognizable or signature style.
