Editing Auteur Theory (section)

== <span style="color: #FFFFFF;">Remembering</span> ==
* '''Auteur Theory''' (Politique des Auteurs) — The "Idea" that the "Director" is the "Creative Voice" that "Unifies" a film.
* '''Auteur''' — The "Author": a director who has a "Consistent Style" and "Thematic Interest" across their entire career.
* '''La Caméra-Stylo''' (The Camera-Pen) — Alexandre Astruc’s "Metaphor": the "Director" "Writes" with the "Camera" just as a "Novelist" writes with a "Pen."
* '''Cahiers du Cinéma''' — The "French Film Magazine" where "Young Critics" (Truffaut, Godard, Rohmer) "Invented" Auteur Theory.
* '''Metteur-en-Scène''' — The "Opposite" of an Auteur: a director who is "Competent" but "Has No Personal Style" (a 'Staging Artist').
* '''Andrew Sarris’s 'The American Cinema' ''' — The "Book" that "Imported" Auteur Theory to "Hollywood," "Ranking" directors based on their "Personal Vision."
* '''The Three Criteria''' (Sarris):
# '''Technical Competence''' (Can they make a movie?).
# '''Personal Style''' (Do they have a 'Visual Signature'?).
# '''Interior Meaning''' (Is there a 'Soul' or 'Theme' behind the work?).
* '''French New Wave''' (La Nouvelle Vague) — The "Movement" of "Critics-turned-Directors" who "Put Auteur Theory into Practice" by "Breaking the Rules" of "Classical Cinema."
* '''The 'Studio System' ''' — The "Factory Model" of "Classical Hollywood" (1930s-40s) where "Producers" often had "More Power" than "Directors."
* '''Filmography''' — The "Complete List" of a director's works, "Analyzed" as a "Single Body of Work."
