Paper Summary:
Two of the post-war directors whose works most prominently exhibit characteristics of "auteur cinema" are Michelangelo Antonioni and Federico Fellini. As will be seen, in "Otto e Mezzo", Fellini's creation of tension between the director's personality and the narrative with which he is working emphasizes the self-reflexivity of this work. Like Fellini, Antonioni, in his classic "L'avventura", emphasizes the nature of the film as an artifact. However, Antonioni's "auteurship" is characterized more by an emphasis on formal devices like camera shots, etc., to visually define his work as opposed to Fellini's concentration upon textual narrative. This paper will argue that the common element in both directors' approaches is an interest in the employment of self-reflexivity to undermine fixed meaning and the certainties of artistic representation of reality.More papers on Auteur Cinema:
