The Rise and Fall of New Hollywood | Auteurs

A deep dive into how the concept of the auteur migrated from the pages of a Parisian film magazine in the 1950s to play a dominant role in how we think about, write about, and talk about New Hollywood - and the continuing ramifications of that development.

There are so many essays, chapters, polemics and more both on the concept of the auteur in the '70s and applying it to films of the era. Most extended writing on New Hollywood include sections or chapters on the influence of auteurism on the era, and some of the best Auteurism readers include sections on New Hollywood.
