Auteur

Before we go into films, and I will have to bone up on The Archers, Powell and Pressburger, just a few lines on auteur. It's a french word, as you know, meaning author. The problem is that books have one author, whereas movies have many people,who collaborate to make the art work or not.

Autuer, then reperesnts forme and please feel free to argue, one strong individual director who puts his stamp on a work that is clearly his - I should have said or she (Katherine Biggelow who I think is absolutely fabulous, Point Break, in my opinion was agreat movie and I am quite willing to deconstruct)

So far so good, look forward to hearing from you all.
