  Auteur Theory
Auteur is the French word for "author," but the word sounds a lot fancier if you put it in French.
The auteur was the individual who clearly left the mark of his personality upon the largely film process.
The auteur theorists were not so much interested in the historical context of the film as they were in the context of the film within the total body of the director's work.

From the Auteurs, yes, it is, with qualifications.
The Auteurs are about a more subtle pop performance, for in the end, though not mop-tops, they're still a pop band.
The Auteurs feels like this kind of island off the island, and like a big wave we keep coming back again, 50 yards offshore.

The Auteurs are unlike the typical downtrodden U.S. indie bands Albini works with, but they nonetheless walked out of Abbey Road Studios with their...
"Brainchild" may have informed the title of the Auteurs' sophomore album, Now I'm a Cowboy, but it was the sneering, in-with-the-hip-crowd antics of the opening "Lenny Valentino" which flew in the face of the light retro-pop the band wielded just a year earlier.
While Brit-pop was still finding its feet and the mark from which to take its bow, Luke Haines' subversively smiley Auteurs were already there, effectively writing a how-to guide that would become the genre's white heat beat for nearly half a decade.

 Cannes 2005: The Auteurs Strike Out. By Mark Peranson
Die-hard auteurs, for example, would defend the wheelbarrow of crap that Woody Allen has been pushing for the previous decade, as opposed to claiming that the Out of Competition Match Point is his greatest film since Crimes and Misdemeanors (1989).
Where many saw a genre reworking of the auteur’s foremost concerns, I saw a well-made film that ultimately failed to escape the genre’s ideological strictures, the conservative, restorative Fordian Western, where violence is a necessary evil to keep a particular American view of civilization (the small-town nuclear family) intact.
Finally, there are those filmmakers who fall into the category of out-of-touch, lame-duck auteurs, whose image of their land of discussion is just that—an image, with an attenuated connection to contemporary reality (Wenders, Gitai).

 Obscure Sound - Indie Music Blog » MUSIC DOWNLOADS: The Auteurs
The Auteurs, along with Suede, were two of the essential bands of the British glam revival in the early 1990s.
Though Suede seems to be more well known in American shores at this point, The Auteurs actually may have been more consistant, not releasing one bad or mediocre album during their six year run after four albums.
still, the auteurs were one of the most underrated bands during the britpop explosion.

 Bright Lights Film Journal | Ingmar Bergman
The auteur theory had become a criterion of value but one to which critics, both emerging and established, were less and less inclined to subscribe.
If the late twentieth century can be defined in cultural terms by the devaluation of its artist and their works, it is arguably here, with the critical shift toward a structuralist approach in the late 1960s, that the process begins.
The auteur once considered to be, along with Antonioni, the woman's director par excellence now stood accused of preventing a liberated image of women on film.

 Say farewell to the last of the auteurs
The specific auteur here is David E. Kelley, of course, the last real golden boy of network television.
As Kelley is an auteur, Dick Wolf is a genius businessman.
Now, whether unable to or simply uninterested in the idea, Sorkin couldn't simultaneously float his two magnificent series, "Sports Night" and "The West Wing." But he was the auteur of record with "The West Wing" as Kelley hit a particularly bad patch of dumb writing and implausible scenarios in his series, dropping him from favor.

 BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Music | Haines orchestrates career best
Since being nominated for the first Mercury music prize for The Auteurs' debut LP New Wave, Luke Haines has ranked amongst the UK's most prolific songwriters.
He has released albums under his own name, with The Auteurs, as Baader Meinhof and with Black Box Recorder, whose single The Facts Of Life hit the top 20 in 2000.
As to the involvement of the other Auteurs, Haines is forthright.

 TrouserPress.com :: Auteurs
As leader of the selfconsciously named Auteurs, the classically trained artiste wrote and played Bowiesque guitar pop that traded in some of the superstar's glam for a more salaciously literate Wildian romp through pop and rebel culture.
If the Auteurs weren't up to taking any stylistic leaps on their own, they were ready to let others do so for them.
Although the original single version of "Light Aircraft on Fire" is pretty brisk on its own, the Albini version on the album stresses the angularity of Haines' guitar line and toughens up the song's jerky rhythm (but lacks the rousing cello finish of the initial recording).

Maintaining, such dark hued enthusiasms, the last Auteurs album - 1996's "After Murder Park" was big on firebombed hotels, suspicious deaths and airbourne disaster.
But not for The Auteurs the dewy eyed reminiscences of the retro bore.
Instead, the album's memories of 70's England are underpinned by hints of that decades less joyous moments - the skinheads, power strikes, food shortages and three day weeks that made Britain look as it was becoming a cross between Poland and A Clockwork Orange.

 CMT.com : The Autuers : Biography
Luke Haines, the group's guitarist, vocalist, and songwriter, writes highly melodic pop songs that combine the airy melodies of Harrison with the cutting social observations of Davies; they're sharp, intelligent songs, full of humor and gorgeous melancholy, even when they're loud rockers.
By the time the group released the Steve Albini-produced After Murder Park in early 1996, they had even lost most of their cult audience in the U.K.; accordingly, the album was a stiff, even on the indie charts.
Before its release, Haines had dropped hints in interviews that the record may be the Auteurs' last.

 The Auteurs : New Wave - Listen, Review and Buy at ARTISTdirect
Their 1993 debut, New Wave, was a glorious combination of snappy beats, sexy guitar, and retro vocals which sounded as much like the Beatles shot through the Pet Shop Boys as anything else.
As is so often the fate of true pioneers, the Auteurs were inexplicably shunted aside by the U.K. press in favor of sundry others' simpler sounds while the U.S. relegated these leaders to followers -- assuming it even heard the band at all.
It's a sin, and a shame, but one that wasn't without a silver lining, as the Auteurs were ultimately able to follow their creative heart, bypassing the corporate marketing chart completely.

The Auteurs, vehicle for singer/songwriter/guitarist Luke Haine's curmudgeonly poetic vision, received quite a bit of praise over the past decade.
The Auteurs, led by singer/songwriter/guitarist Luke Haines, struck gold with their critically acclaimed debut, New Wave.
What Luke Haines and the Auteurs acomplished here was an erudite, melodic, largely acoustic set of songs that perfectly capsulated the early brit pop scene in a way to which only the Auteurs could.

 Luke Haines - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
It was only when Haines formed The Auteurs with his girlfriend Alice Readman (who had also been in The Servants) and Glenn Collins in 1990 that he began to achieve some success.
Even bleaker and more introspective than previous Auteurs albums, this was just as English as his previous work but now showed very different influences: the downbeat folk of Richard Thompson, the aggression of My Bloody Valentine, the pared down experimentalism of Wire, and the caustic lyrics of The Fall.
The sound was similar to that of The Auteurs, but more sparsely produced and with elements of funk and electronica, with lyrics, typically for the ever-contrary Haines, about terrorism.

Working with the super-producer Steve Albini in the haunted Abbey Road studio, the Auteurs prove they've lost zero edge since their New Wave debut and 1994's grimier Now I'm a Cowboy.
This third release is like a rock & roll dispatch from a parallel universe: glam, punk, early Bowie and the Beatles being taken apart and put back together all wrong.
The Auteurs have achieved a kind of twilight status as underground superstars, but they're at the top of the charts in some other lucky dimension.

Haines, of course, sprang to prominence in 1992 with his band the Auteurs and the Mercury-nominated New Wave, inadvertently kicking off Britpop in the process.
New Wave is represented on this collection, as are his three other records with the Auteurs and there is also material from one of his two solo records released in 2001 (Christie Malry's Own Double Entry) as well as his mid-'90s incarnation as the extraordinary Baader Meinhof.
The Auteurs are still one of the best bands to emerge from that whole scene, releasing their first album New Wave around the same time as Radiohead's Pablo Honey and managing to pre-date the kind of music recorded by Blur on albums like Modern Life Is Rubbish and The Great Escape.

 Adrian's Album Reviews : The Auteurs
One was Radiohead, one was Saint Etienne and one was The Auteurs.
Glorious lyrics and the same is true of 'Light Aircraft On Fire', although that particular song is perhaps the single best cross between noise and anger and The Autuers of old that 'After Murder Park' demonstrates.
The cello mixes with the distorted guitars and the angry lyrics, the song switches between quiet and loud (aka albini, producer of Pixies and Nirvana) but fully retains unique Auteurs qualities.

The Auteurs mixed the loud guitars of glam rock with a more quiet and reflective outlook on music more suited to indie rock.
The band's fare would draw raves from indie fans initially, though with each progressive album the band's popularity drooped.
By the middle of the '90s, the band had splintered, and front man Luke Haines formed Baader Meinhoff and Black Box Recorder, though a final Auteurs record would surface in 1999.
