Summarise what Astruc meant by the term "Auteur" and give some examples of the films cited by the movement as being created by Auteur directors.

Alexandre Astruc, wanted to find directors that shared their own perspective through use of lighting, camerawork, staging, editing, and the story. He called this concept of individualism “auteurism,” deriving largely from Astruc’s explanation of the concept of caméra-stylo (“camera-pen”), where the director, is more to be considered the “author” of the movie.
