What is an Auteur?
An auteur is someone who is a creator and an artist, who also may be a director who keeps certain control over their own person synergetic imagery used in multiple films. The imagery can be anything from themes to colours and different types of lighting. The auteur theory was founded in 1951 and "auteur" is the french word for author which means that an auteur is famous someone who reflects the directors visions and creativity.
“A true film auteur is someone who brings something genuinely personal to his subject instead of producing a tasteful, accurate but lifeless rendering of the original material.”
