DESCRIPTION
This module will examine the wide-ranging debates related to the film auteur through historical enquiry, theoretical investigation and comparative case studies. Students will explore the fraught relationship between film theory and the concept of the auteur, where the arguments against the film director-as-artist are set against the many instances of extraordinary ?personal? style and innovation in the cinematic medium. After exposure to the critical debates, students will analyse a series of case-studies to better understand the auteur in the context of the ?classical?, the ?postmodern? and the ?world cinema? auteur. Finally, the module will also update the discussion by considering the impact of digital media on the idea of the film auteur.
