Auteur theory refers to the idea that a film directly reflects the creative vision of the director. In other words, the director is the author of a film. Therefore, the film's quality is ultimately in the hards of the director. Even in the early eras of cinema, France held an important role in the film industry. With the introduction of sound into film, musical films that adapted theater rose in popularity. Once the world war kicked in, many filmmaker fled France, while those who stayed were only able to make escapist films under strict German control. During this era, the ban of British and American cinema allowed the French films to prosper. Though French cinema grew in popularity, the industry lacked a creative output for aspiring filmmakers at the time.
