2. "The movie's distinctive elements had critics calling the young director Hollywood's newest
auteur."
3. "Female filmmakers such as Sofia Coppola and Greta Gerwig are becoming more recognized as modern auteurs."
Word Origin.
French, 1960s
American film critic Andrew Sarris coined the term "auteur theory" in his famous 1962 essay "Notes on the Auteur Theory," and thus "auteur," which means "author" in French, was popularized in American English. As a result of this and other Sarris writings, more public attention turned to the overall craft of filmmaking instead of being focused solely on the actors.
