Question 2

Correct Answer:

An auteur is a director whose films are marked by a consistent, individual style and who is in control of many aspects of the film. The young critics behind the auteur concept launched a vibrant movement known as the New Wave. Jean-Luc Goddard's 1960s Breathless was one of the first New Wave films to appear. The revolutionary nature of Breathless does not lie in the story line but in the way it is told, employing unconventional editing techniques, camera shots, and dialogue.
