Auteur simply is the film criticism that considers the director of a film to be its primary creator
Auteur is the French word for 'author', Auteur theory draws on the work of a group of cinema enthusiasts who wrote for Cahiers du Cinéma and argued that films should reflect a director's personal vision.
"A true film auteur is someone who brings something genuinely personal to his subject instead of producing a tasteful, accurate but lifeless rendering of the original material."
This suggests that in a sense, the films director is the author. The director has a personal style which controls the final product.
