What is the auteur theory? How might the auteur theory be applied to the French director Jean-Luc Godard ? Your response must make an argument for the presence of a signature style and/or distinct thematic concerns that appear across your directors body of work. I will upload a few academic sources but PLease find more academic sources and use them for the essay. Please watch at least 2 films made by Jean-Luc Godard and analyze his style and how the auteur theory can be applied to him. I’ll upload another document which is a guideline on who to write this critical analysis. There will also be a checklist that you have to compete and checkmark as you complete the assignment. PLEASE USE THE CHECKLIST AND UPLOADED IT WITH THE ASSIGNMENT. Your Analysis is to be written up as a short academic essay (introduction; body of the text; conclusion) that includes correct academic citation in the UniSA Harvard Style, an academic Reference List and a Filmography.
