"Alexandre Astruc is a French film critic and film director born 13 July 1923, in Paris (France).Before becoming a film director he was a journalist, novelist and film critic. His contribution to the auteur theory centers on his notion of the cam\u00E9ra-stylo or \"camera-pen\" and the idea that directors should wield their cameras like writers use their pens.In 1994 he was awarded the Ren\u00E9 Clair Award for his whole body of film work."@en .
