Auteur Theory: Demystifying the Most Misunderstood Film Theory

Welcome back everyone! In today's video I will be breaking down Auteur Theory, one of the most influential film theories ever written. Auteur Theory essentially sites the director as the sole artist of a film, and each film should be the individual vision of the director. Auteur directors include people like Jean Luc Godard, Francois Truffaut, John Ford, Martin Scorsese, and many more. This theory is filled with controversies, from people saying it diminishes the work of other artists, to people misrepresenting its central ideals. I hope this video helps you make sense of the incredibly influential and fascinating topic. #filmanalysis #auteur Follow Me Elsewhere: https://linktr.ee/Sinjun_Chapman
