What is Five Directors: Auteurism from Assayas to Ozon (French Film Directors) about?

<p><p><P>Auteurism--the idea that a director of a film is its source of meaning and should retain creative control over the finished product--has been one of film studies&#8217; most important paradigms ever since the French New Wave of the late 1950s and early 1960s, and the adoption of the term auteur by Andrew Sarris.<p>Through the popular, controversial and critically acclaimed films of Olivier Assayas, Jacques Audiard, the Dardenne brothers, Michael Haneke and Francois Ozon, this book looks into how the meaning of &#8216;auteur&#8217; has changed over this half-century, and assesses the current state of Francophone auteur cinema. It combines French philosophical and sociological approaches with methodologies from the Anglo-American fields of gender studies, queer theory and postmodernism.<p>This volume will be of interest to researchers and students of film studies, European cinema and French and Francophone studies, as well as to film enthusiasts.<p><p></p>
