[edit] Notes on the auteur theory
Auteur is French for author. Since the 1950s, when auteur theory was first brought forward by the critics of the influential French film magazine Cahiers du cinéma, the term auteur has acquired the meaning of directors whose personal vision on a movie is strongly felt.
However, it can easily be argued that any "writer director" - as in one who both writes and directs a film - could be labeled an auteur, since both writing and directing a film, is likely produce a film with the personal imprint of the director.
Auteur may or may not refer to control over the final version of the film. See the entry director's cut for more on this subject.
Note: the search string "writer director" turns up 350 results in Wikipedia. [Aug 2005]
In recent years, the auteur theory has been contrasted with genre theory, arguing that the auteur theory is a manifestation of the cult of personality theory of the great man theory which tend to exclude the work of directors such as David Cronenberg, Radley Metzger or Roger Corman to name but a few, who produce highly personal movies but are mainly active in what has been labeled genre films, the cinematic equivalent of escapist fiction. This exclusion could hardly have been the original intention of the Cahiers writers, as they were the first to re-appraise - against established film critical currents - the works of "genre directors" such as John Ford, Alfred Hitchcock and Roger Corman.
As quoted from Greencine.com:
[the Cahiers writers] embraced directors - both French and American - whose personal signature could be read in their films. The French directors the Cahiers critics endorsed included Jean Vigo, Jean Renoir, Robert Bresson and Marcel Ophüls; while the Americans on their list of favorites included John Ford, Howard Hawks, Alfred Hitchcock, Fritz Lang, Nicholas Ray and Orson Welles, indisputed masters, all. There were also a few surprising, even head-scratching favorites, including Jerry Lewis (where the whole "France loves Jerry Lewis" stereotype began) and Roger Corman. (Greencine.com, early 2000s)

Pavel Klushantsev was a Russian film director (25 February 1910 St. Petersburg, Russia - 1999). His 1962 feature Planeta Bur was edited and expanded by Roger Corman for American distribution as Voyage to the Prehistoric Planet (1965) by Curtis Harrington and as Voyage to a Prehistoric Planet (1966) by Peter Bogdanovich. It are the original scenes which draw the most acclaim. See also: Cinema of Russia and science fiction cinema.
On film distribution
Just as Roger Corman did with Russian science-fiction imports, Radley Metzger acquired his erotic blend of films in Europe, dubbing, marketing and distributing them but also expanding (adding extra footage) or shortening them where needed for the American market. Among the filmmakers he introduced to American audiences were José Bénazéraf, Max Pécas and Mac Ahlberg.
And even before that, there was Kroger Babb, who adapted the Swedish films of Ingmar Bergman for American audiences.
Another example is What's Up, Tiger Lily?, a 1966 comedy by Woody Allen which utilized clips from Kokusai himitsu keisatsu: Kagi no kagi, a Japanese spy film.
A comparison of Roger Corman and Jess Franco
In many ways Roger Corman is to American cinema what Jess Franco is to European cinema. They both directed low budget, B-movie style films that attracted minority cultures in the United States and Europe respectively.

[edit] Notes on mechanical reproducibility of artworks with regard to Baudelaire and Benjamin
French text:
Il y a dans le monde, et même dans le monde des artistes, des gens qui vont au musée du Louvre, passent rapidement, et sans leur accorder un regard, devant une foule de tableaux très intéressants, quoique de second ordre, et se plantent rêveurs devant un Titien ou un Raphaël, un de ceux que la gravure a le plus popularisés; puis sortent satisfaits, plus d'un se disant: "Je connais mon musée."English translation:
“The world—and even the world of artists—is full of people who can go to the Louvre, walk rapidly, without so much as a glance, past rows of very interesting, though secondary, pictures, to come to a rapturous halt in front of a Titian or Raphael—one of those that would have been most popularized by the engraver’s art; then they will go home happy, not a few saying to themselves, ‘I know my Museum.‘” -- Charles Baudelaire
In this excerpt, quoted from the Charles Baudelaire's 1863 The Painter of Modern Life, an essay on Constantin Guys, Charles Baudelaire comments on the fact that works of art have lost their aura (a term I borrow here from Walter Benjamin) because of the technique of engraving. For the first time in history, engraving allowed images of works of art to be mass-popularized in posters and postcards. This essay foreshadows Walter Benjamin's The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction.
It is precisely this mass-reproducibility of works of art, in two-dimensional (postcards of the Mona Lisa) as well as three-dimensional forms (plastic statues of the Venus de Milo), which has given birth to the concept of kitsch.

[edit] Colin Henry Wilson
Colin Henry Wilson (born June 26, 1931) is a British writer. The Misfits: A Study of Sexual Outsiders (1988) -- Colin Henry Wilson
Crime and sexual perversion Wilson seeks to establish a link between crime and perversion.
On Sade In his excellent Misfits, Colin Wilson states that Marquis de Sade's philosophy was one of extreme selfishness, mentioning Sade's denial of the existence of benevolence and altruism. Wilson's portrait of Sade is the first well-balanced I encountered, neither villifying (as it was customary during the 19th century) nor exalting him as it was done in the 20th century (see De Beauvoir and Apollinaire).

Synopsis The history of human civilization is the history of daydreaming, escapism and imagination and the nature of fiction (tale, drama novel, sexual imagination, sex crimes, ...)
[edit] Culture
Culture is an ambiguous term usually signifying high culture. It is my thesis that culture arises from and is made of elements of high culture and low culture. In this sense, culture equals mainstream or popular culture.

[edit] High Renaissance
The High Renaissance (1480s - 1520s) is a rather subjective art term denoting the culmination of the art of the Early Renaissance. Generally counted among High Renaissance artists are Michelangelo Buonarroti, Raphael Sanzio and Leonardo da Vinci.
Also active at this time were Giorgione, Titian and Giovanni Bellini.
By about the 1520s, High Renaissance art gives way to a style known as Mannerism.

[edit] Art as an excuse for depicting prurient interests
Before the 1850s and the birth of modern art, artists needed an excuse to depict violence and sex in their paintings or engravings. Some themes from mythology or martyrology provided an excuse to display these themes.
[edit] Violence
- See also: aestheticization_of_violence, graphic violence
[edit] The Temptation of Saint Anthony
Some of the stories included in Saint Anthony's biography are perpetuated now mostly in paintings, where they give an excuse for artists to depict their more lurid or bizarre fantasies. Many pictorial artists, from Félicien Rops and Hieronymus Bosch to Salvador Dalí, have depicted these incidents from the life of Anthony; in prose, the tale was retold and embellished by Gustave Flaubert.
[edit] Massacre of the Innocents
The theme of the "Massacre of the Innocents" has provided artists with opportunities to compose complicated depictions of massed bodies in violent action. Artists of the Renaissance took inspiration for their "Massacres" from Roman reliefs of the battle of the Lapiths and Centaurs to the extent that they showed the figures heroically nude. Guido Reni's early (1611) Massacre of the Innocents, in an unusual vertical format, is at Bologna. Peter Paul Rubens painted the theme more than once.
[edit] The Last Judgment
In art, the Last Judgment is a common theme in medieval and renaissance religious iconography. Like most early iconographic innovations, its origins stem from Byzantium. In Western Christianity, it is often the subject depicted on the central tympanum of medieval cathedrals and churches, or as the central section of a triptych, flanked by depictions of heaven and hell to the left and right, respectively (heaven being to the viewer's left, but to the Christ figure's right). The most famous Renaissance depiction is Michelangelo Buonarroti's in the Sistine Chapel. Included in this is his self portrait, as St. Bartholomew's flayed skin.
[edit] Judith
The subject: a daring and beautiful woman Judith in her full maturity, dressed as for the feast with all her spectacular jewels, accompanied by an apprehensive maid, succeeds in decapitating the invading general, Holofernes. The moral is as much about the dangers of a beautiful woman, as had been told of Delilah and Samson, but here the woman was a culture-hero to the listeners.

[edit] Medusa
Caravaggio's and Rubens's Medusa.
[edit] Salome
The Biblical story of Salome has long been a favourite of painters, since it offers a chance to depict oriental splendour, semi-nude women, and exotic scenery under the guise of a Biblical subject. Painters who have done notable representations of Salome include Titian and Gustave Moreau.

Depictions of The Temptation of Saint Anthony, Venus (mythology), The Three Graces
[edit] Leda and the Swan
The motif of Leda and the Swan from Greek mythology, in which the Greek god Zeus came to Leda in the form of a swan, was rarely seen in Gothic art, but resurfaced as a classicizing theme, with erotic overtones, in Italian painting and sculpture of the 16th Century.
[edit] The Three Graces
On the representation of the Graces, Pausanias wrote,
- "Who it was who first represented the Graces naked, whether in sculpture or in painting, I could not discover. During the earlier period, certainly, sculptors and painters alike represented them draped. [...] But later artists, I do not know the reason, have changed the way of portraying them. Certainly to-day sculptors and painters represent Graces naked."
[edit] The Temptation of Saint Anthony
[edit] Venus
Venus became a popular subject of painting and sculpture during the Renaissance period in Europe. As a "classical" figure for whom nudity was her natural state, it was socially acceptable to depict her unclothed. As the goddess of sexual healing, a degree of erotic beauty in her presentation was justified, which had an obvious appeal to many artists and their patrons. Over time, "venus" came to refer to any artistic depiction of a nude woman, even when there was no indication that the subject was the goddess.
