Looks at Francophone filmmakers - those who are working in the French language. Contains an excellent appraisal of the auteurist concept's meaning and value to Francophone cinema. The five directors are among the most acclaimed contemporary film makers: Olivier Assayas, Jacques Audiard, the Dardenne brothers, Michael Haneke and Francois Ozon. -- .
It is a thoughtful book that does wave the flag convincingly for arefreshed notion of the auteur. I would be interested to see a 2017revisit.
