Consequently Andrew Sarris Was Never Called An Asshole

You don’t know this, and you should. The auteur theory – which should have died on the Loire Valley Cabernet Franc vine – originated in France with the cahiers du cinema crew. After stating it was the director writes the film, this idea was popularized in the US by Mr. Andrew Sarris. Given the content of Week-end, I’d like to think that this was a very successful prank that got way out of hand. Given the fact that the former Marxist (and what other kinds are there?) M. Jean-Luc Godard is now a commercial maker living in Switzerland, I cannot think that. It’s another theory that proves itself, so I guess it is scientific after all.
