Auteur Theory

Wollen’s article about the Auteur theory was interesting in the way that it addressed how different European directors have been recognized and analyzed differently in accordance to their work in either Europe or the U.S. I really wasn’t aware of this phenomenon at all and was surprised when I read this. I also liked the idea that the director is not the sole author of a film. The Auteur theory seemingly opens of possibilities in terms of aspects of production.
