| In The Village Voice and elsewhere, Sarris dressed up his highly personal approach to criticism with theory, adapting French auteurism to defend his fondness for studio pictures previously derided as trash. If this were a different era, one wouldn't hesitate to call him an auteur given that the feature films he has made to date -- Live Bait (1995), Dirty (1998) and now Last Wedding -- fulfill Truffaut's original criteria for auteurism, chief among them being that film is a medium of personal expression for the director. THE EMERGENCE OF ED WOOD as ironic culture hero--a status cemented by Tim Burton's bemused Hollywood biopic--just about permanently blurred the line between auteurism and autism. |
