ANDREW SARRIS. "The American Cinema" (1968). One of only 1500 copies, "The American Cinema" introduced auteur theory to America, and sparked a long and famous debate between Sarris and Pauline Kael. Auteur theory sees a film director as the author of a film, and was one of the founding principles used by the directors in the French New Wave (Truffaut, Godard, Chabrol, Rohmer, etc.). Using the new thinking in this book, Sarris re-evaluated the pantheon of important American directors from 1929 to 1968. [email protected] #auteurs #directors #filmcriticism #andrewsarris

That is the nature of the medium [film]. You always get more for your money than mere art.

An Auteur Theory Pioneer Passes But The Debate Continues

Andrew Sarris, a famous film critic and a pioneer of the auteur theory, passed away June 20, 2012 at the age of 83.

In 1962, Andrew Sarris wrote an essay titled, “Notes on the Auteur Theory”, which was published in Film Culture. This brought the auteur idea to the United States that year, and here is a link to it http://bit.ly/MvuXpt (PDF format). The essay was inspired by the work of Francois Truffaut and his essay in 1954 titled A Certain Tendency in French Cinema. The auteur theory states that directors deliver artistic expression in their films and it continues through other films throughout their career. As a result Truffaut wrote this famous line in the 1954 essay, “There are no good and bad movies, only good and bad directors”.

This theory has faced criticism ever since it came to fruition by multiple film critics across the world. The debates continue with each subsequent generation despite it being 68 years since the idea came to light. Can critics and avid movie goers alike deny their ability to tell who directed a film more times than not though? Some film critics believe the work of these great directors is because of the collaboration of the entire film crew producing the work, but the people working on films typically change with each project.

One of the first names that come to mind when speaking about auteur theory is Alfred Hitchcock. If you have ever had an opportunity to take a class on Hitchcock films, most likely you would agree his work is easy to identify for the most part. Netflix has a good collection of his films if you haven’t seen his work, but some work is harder to come by such as North By Northwest (1959). Hitchcock has many subliminal messages in his films that critics and moviegoers can recognize if they’re paying close attention to the film. Despite, his movies having different storylines and characters there are artistic factors that make them a Hitchcock piece. Many filmmakers pay homage to his work through their work, whether it be a particular camera angle or the presentation of certain character.

Hitchcock’s films may not be for everyone now especially for moviegoers that don’t appreciate the black and white style of earlier films. Some movie critics consider Quentin Tarantino as a modern day auteur through his work. Tarantino has an in your face style with the bloody kills by his characters to the dark humor seen across his film work. It is easy to tell if Tarantino directed a movie as a result, and he pays homage to directors who inspired him as well.

Tarantino’s auteur status will be tested in his upcoming film, Django Unchained. Here is a link to the international trailer for it http://youtu.be/KKb20n7gkVQ. This will be the first major release of a Tarantino film without editor, Sally Menke. She passed away in September of 2010 after going on a hike and was later found dead. Menke and Tarantino had a great relationship with one another and there was a large amount of trust between them while working on films. Menke was nominated for multiple awards for her work as a result. An editor can change the look and feel of a film and her work will be missed by Tarantino and many others.

For Django Unchained, Tarantino turned to Fred Raskin to be his editor. Raskin worked as an assistant editor on Kill Bill: Volumes 1 and 2, which should help ease the transition in this new project. The film will show whether or not Tarantino was truly an auteur in his ownright or if it was a collaboration between Menke and Tarantino that led to his modern day standing as an auteur. If it was the latter then moviegoers were lucky to be able to witness great work that will not be replicated again unfortunately.

These are only two examples of directors that are considered auteurs. Some critics disagree with the notion that it was the director who presented an artistic message throughout their work rather than a reflection of an entire crew’s work. The theory is not meant to take a jab at film crew members, instead it is meant to show that a great director can assemble a team and encourage them to work cohesively while creating a piece of art. Sarris’s work regarding the auteur theory will continue to be supported and scrutinized but it will also create great conversation amongst film critics and moviegoers alike.

RIP Andrew Sarris (1928-2012)
