Why Is It Important To Be Considered An Auteur?
“Auteur” is the French word for author. Very much like the author of a book is given credit as its sole creator, auteur theory gives the film director credit for authoring the film, “imprinting it with his personal vision”(goodykoontz, 2011,sec.7.3,para.1).

The problem is that not all film critics agree on the same definition of what is considered art. According to Andrew Sarris, to be considered an auteur, a film director must qualify in three key areas: 1. Technical competence 2. Distinguishable personality and 3. Interior meaning
