I admit it, I went to film school. So - favorite auteur would have to be Francois Truffaut.
I'm a big Hitchcock fan though, hard to pick a favorite. Shadow of a Doubt is pretty great. Vertigo, too.
If I remember reading right, I believe Truffaut was the one who dubbed it "the auteur theory."
Bless that man.
One major topic I had to touch on in my essay was "Is the auteur theory relevant, and should we still apply it to the way we analyze and critique certain films."
I say yes. Totally.
