TRUE Auteurs
By: Marius Rønnevik
Directors that made films that reflected their personal vision as a piece of art instead of satisfying commercial needs.
If you think someone should be on this list please let me know.
According to Andrew Sarris, a director must accomplish technical competence in their technique, personal style in terms of how the movie looks and feels, and interior meaning.
