Neo-Brutalist 11: The Auteur Theory

Where the director is also the writer, the cinematographer, and the editor.

Meet the auteur, the one who refuses to compromise on their artistic vision.

Here's a list of the 10 commandments for the auteur:

Commandments 1-5

• Thou shalt not make a sequel if it's not a masterpiece.
• Thou shalt not cast a known actor if they're not a method actor.
• Thou shalt not make a movie with a budget over $200 million.
• Thou shalt not greenlight a project that's not a game-changer.
• Thou shalt not compromise on your artistic vision, no matter how crazy it gets.

And here's a list of the 5 commandments for the auteur's minions:

Commandments 6-10

• Thou shalt not question the auteur's genius.
• Thou shalt not ask for overtime pay if you're on set.
• Thou shalt not eat the craft services food, it's for the crew.
• Thou shalt not touch the auteur's script, it's sacred.
• Thou shalt not leave the set before the auteur says it's okay.
