...Night, the mercurial Leaud character is joined by the director himself, playing a director. The separation is perhaps a sign of Truffaut's gropings for a new directorial maturity: at the recent New York Film Festival he commented that as he had once considered the great film critic Andre Bazin something of a father figure, he had come to look on Leaud as a son. Such is the distance which fifteen years of film-making have opened...
...bourgeois cultural oppression, as he explains in Wind From the East ) based on a more "convincing" and "realistic" image with spatial and dramatic ambiguity. Orson Welles first developed the new realism in Citizen Kane -its elements of symbolism, multi-level causality, mystery, and ambiguity (tragedy, too)-and Andre Bazin glorified it in criticism, developing a metaphysical formalism that invests the most innocent pan or track with human Significance.

Duet for Cannibals attempts this, by taking up outmoded conventions and destroying them, each in turn. In "Against Interpretation" (1964) Sontag makes a case for interpreting interpretation (at this time in history...
...auteur theory of film criticism has gone through many transformations since its initial conception. For Andre Bazin and his Cahiers du Cinema scions in the 40's and 50's, approaching a film as if it were creatively guided by a single intelligence-preferably that of the director-provided opportunities for scholarly, disciplined film thought. Just as a modern writer is judged more by an oeuvre, his body of work, than by a single masterpiece, the Cahiers critics traced continual directorial themes and motifs, evaluating the creator's relationship to his subject by the manner in which it was visually...
