The Auteur theory states that the director is viewed as the major creative force in a motion picture. The theory arose in the 1940s, France and was later dubbed by the American filmcritic Andrew Sarris. The theory was suggested by Andre Bazin and Alexandre Astruc, and was seen as the nouvelle vague (new wave) of cinematic movement in 1951. Astruc's focus on the theory was the concept of 'camera-stylo' (camera-pen) signifying that the director is seen as the author, as he doesn't only have control over all audio and visual elements of the motion picture but also has control over the screenplay.
